Lizzo says her new album is finished and criticized Texas's anti-trans legislation during her SXSW keynote Q&A
Lizzo’s gospel of self-love fueled much of her SXSW keynote speech, culminating in a moment where she led the audience through a self-belief mantra of “I love you. You are beautiful. You can do anything,” encouraging strangers to take off their SXSW-mandated masks and turn and say these words of positivity to one another. It was the emotional peak of a talk that was at once frank, funny, and revealing.kicks off what promises to be a bustling 2022 for the rapper.
After the record is out, Lizzo is hitting the road. “There’s definitely a tour but we have a lot of surprises,” she said. “This is just the beginning, this is the tip of the titty, honey.”“I needed big girls more than I needed a television show,” Lizzo said by way of explaining the origin of her series. From the outset of her performing career, she wanted to surround herself with dancers who shared her same stature.
“It was also important that I changed the narrative of what a reality competition television show looks like,” Lizzo said. “We don’t always have to be cruel, we can be kind. We don’t have to pit people against each other.” This sensibility stems from the impetus for the show, and how it’s been so difficult to find dancers.
As Lizzo prepared to introduce her dancers to her new song, she wound up crying on camera. “I was talking about the fatphobia and racism toward people who look like me, and specifically me. And then I had to clean up my face and go in and play ‘Rumors’ to the girls, and this was not planned at all.
She also spoke out on Texas’s restrictive abortion law. “We got a lotta ugly babies y’all need to be handling instead of y’all being in people’s homes and telling them what to do with their bodies and being all up in their uteruses,” Lizzo said. “The abortion ban is atrocious as well. Mind your business. Stay out of my body.”
