In February, Lizzo’s dreams came true when she got to meet the 41-year-old “Halo” singer at the Grammy Awards ceremony. During heracceptance speech, she gave her a special shout-out.
“In the 5th grade I skipped school to see you perform,” she said, as theRenaissancesuperstar beamed back at her. “My sister, she got me out of school. (It was literature, I’m good!)”
“You changed my life,” she continued. “You sang that gospel medley and the way you made me feel… I was like, I want to make people feel this way with my music, so thank you so much.”
The speech resonated with the audience so much, they gave her a standing ovation, and hostTrevor Noahdeclared, “They should give out a Grammy for best speech!”
Later that night, the “Cuff It” singer shared photos from her Grammy celebrations and Lizzo was in attendance.
