Sharing a video of the moment with her 13.4 million Instagram followers, the rapper-singer-flutist, who is an outspoken ally of the LGBTQ+ community, thanked the “beautiful drag queens for showing their pride in Tennessee.”
Lizzo made her stance on Tennessee’s anti-drag-show legislation clear by inviting drag queens onstage at her Knoxville concert. Last month, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signed legislation banning “adult cabaret” artists from performing in public and/or in the presence of children. The controversial bill listed “male or female impersonators,” which is widely interpreted to mean drag queens.
The 34-year-old musician, best known for her empowering hits including “Truth Hurts” and “Juice” and her ubiquitous track “Good As Hell,” also addressed the bill in another video, telling the audience that she was warned against performing in Tennessee. “But why would I not come to the people who need to hear this message the most, the people who need to feel this release the most?” Lizzo told cheering fans.
