ABOUT LIZZO

A 3x GRAMMY® Award-winning singer, songwriter, rapper, actress, and so much more, Lizzo has shifted the sound, soul, and spirit of popular music and culture. 2019’s now-classic, ARIA gold certified debut album, CUZ I LOVE YOU, bowed at #4 on the Billboard 200 and cracked the Top 20 ARIA Album Charts, fueled in part by such history-making hits as the ARIA platinum “Juice”, the 5x ARIA platinum “Good As Hell”, and the 4x ARIA platinum “Truth Hurts”.

 

Named by Rolling Stone as one of the ”500 Greatest Songs Of All Time,” “Truth Hurts” went on to earn a 2020 GRAMMY® Award for “Best Pop Solo Performance,” with CUZ I LOVE YOU (DELUXE) receiving that year’s GRAMMY® for “Best Urban Contemporary Album” and “Jerome” earning “Best Traditional R&B Performance.”

 

Crowned 2019’s “Entertainer of the Year” by both TIME and Entertainment Weekly, Lizzo has adorned the covers of countless publications around the globe, spanning Rolling Stone, Billboard, Elle, British Vogue, and many more. Among her many unforgettable TV appearances, Lizzo has lit up the stage at the American Music Awards, the MTV Video Music Awards, the BET Awards, Saturday Night Live, and an epic opening performance at the GRAMMYs, to name just a few. Expanding her imprint and influence across media, Lizzo lent her voice to the 2019 animated film, UglyDolls, and joined Jennifer Lopez, Constance Wu, Julia Stiles, Keke Palmer, Lili Reinhart, and Cardi B in the all-star cast of that same year’s critically acclaimed Hustlers.

 

Lizzo maintained this unstoppable momentum on 2021’s ARIA gold certified “Rumors (Feat. Cardi B)” and what has already proven a jam-packed 2022, including a double duty hosting and performance on Saturday Night Live and a highly anticipated appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden.
