Share
Lizzo celebrated the eagerly anticipated arrival of “About Damn Time” by returning to NBC’s Saturday Night Live as both host and musical guest – her first appearance on the show since serving as musical guest back in 2019. Lizzo is one of the few superstars to serve as both host and musical guest on SNL, and is only the third black female to pull double duty in the show’s history.
The appearance follows recent visits to NBC’s The TODAY Show and CBS’ The Late Late Show with James Corden, the latter of which saw Lizzo teasing “About Damn Time” by giving fans an exclusive first listen to the funky new single.
Followed by an “80s v Today Dance Bop Riff-Off” that culminates with the two stars dancing to her 2x platinum favorite, “Juice.”
Lizzo can also currently be seen in Amazon Prime Video’s #1 reality show, Lizzo’s Watch Out For The Big Grrrls, streaming now exclusively via Prime Video. The eight-episode unscripted competition series – which follows Lizzo on her hunt for confident, bad-ass women to join the elite ranks of the Big Grrrls on her world tour – has swiftly drawn critical acclaim around the world, with The Hollywood Reporter declaring, “Lizzo was born to be a reality TV host… her effervescent persona just innately lends itself to the heightened nature of this genre,” and The Guardian simply raving, “This joyful show will water your parched soul.”

Lizzo recently added “fashion entrepreneur” to her multi-hyphenate career by joining forces with parent company Fabletics, Inc. for the launch of her revolutionary new shapewear brand, YITTY. Named after her childhood moniker and based on the principles of self-love, radical inner confidence, and effortless, everyday wear, the game-changing, size-inclusive brand marks an industry first: no-shame, smile-inducing shapewear designed for all body types, with sizes ranging from size 6X to XS.

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 RIAA gold certified “Rumors(Feat. Cardi B)” and is now set to create her biggest, boldest, and brightest revolution thus far with her massively anticipated second full-length offering SPECIAL for Nice Life Recording Company/Atlantic Records, due July 15th.
