The ‘Juice’ singer regularly posts short videos to her 7.9 million followers on the social platform, detailing everything from her cooking regime to the charitable causes that she supports. Basically, her feed is a string of extremely wholesome clips, both funny and informative in equal measure.
But a recent TikTok from the singer has received particular attention, crossing over to Twitter and spreading a message to a new audience.
In the short video, which features part of Lizzo’s workout regimen, she shoots back at all those who have criticised her looks and appearance.
“I’ve been working out consistently for the last five years,” the singer says. “And it may come as a surprise to some of y’all that I’m not working out to have your ideal body type. I’m working out to have my ideal body type.
“And you know what type that is? None of your fucking business. Because I am beautiful, I am strong, I do my job and I stay on my job. So next time you want to come to somebody and judge them … How about you look at your own fucking self, and worry about your own goddamn body, because health is not just determined on what you look like on the outside.”
Basically, the whole thing is a triumphant reclamation of her own narrative, and proof positive that Lizzo is one of the best popstars we have.
