EXCLUSIVE: Lizzo fangirls over Beyoncé and Jay-Z watching her show
They're serious fans!
Last updated 13th Feb 2020
Absolute super-babe Lizzo dropped by KISS HQ this morning (Weds 13th Nov) to discuss all things 'Good As Hell' with KISS Breakfast's Tom and Daisy and we were LOVING it. The 'Truth Hurts' star, who dropped her third album 'Cuz I Love You' earlier this year, chatted away to Tom, joking that she's on a "champagne diet" at the moment.
When asked how she's been celebrating all her recent success, Lizzo revealed that her favourite champagne is Jay-Z's brand, Ace of Spades, adding, "We take the time to celebrate, which I think is really important.
"I wasn't this way, then as soon as 2019 hit, I said, 'You know what, I'm gonna smell the roses, I have a good career, I'm supporting my family, I'm gonna celebrate all these moments, then the moments just got so massive!"
But it was her revelation about Jay-Z and Beyoncé Knowles-Carter being fans of hers that really got us. "Yes! Side stage, they watched the whole thing," she gushed. "What's wrong with me!
"I mean, that was cool. I'll tell you what, two years prior, I played the same festival - it's Jay-Z's festival, it's Made In America, and I remember I was on right before Cardi B, and mind you this is when 'Bodak Yellow' had just hit Number 1, and she was just at the crest of the beginning of her amazing career.
"She was right after me, and I remember I performed and I was like, 'What if Beyoncé's there?' and I finished and then I was turning to walk off stage and literally as I was walking off, Beyoncé was coming to watch Cardi B, and it was such a moment."
She added, "The photo of them went viral and I was like, 'I was there!' and I was like, 'You know what, next time I play this festival, Beyoncé's gonna watch my set', and it happened - manifest it, baby, dreams do come true."
