No amount of golden trophies or praise from an outdated institution could replace the power of a musician's tangible influence.
“Beyoncé, whew,” Lizzo said in her speech while acceptingfor “About Damn Time” on Sunday night. “In the fifth grade, I skipped school to see you perform. My sister, she got me out of school. It was literature. I’m good.”
Looking out across the audience, Lizzo tried to find where her icon was standing through the tears in her eyes. “You changed my life,” she told her from the stage. “You sang that gospel medley, and the way you made me feel, I was like, ‘I want to make people feel this way with my music.’ So thank you so much. You clearly are the artist of our lives.”
This came after Lizzo was spotted hilariously searching for Beyoncé after host Trevor Noah mentioned that she was set to attend the show. The singer was seen dramatically spinning around in her chair with a wide-eyed look on her face at the mere mention of Beyonce’s name. Later in the night, Lizzo finally got her moment up close and personal with Beyonce when they snapped a photo together. “NOBODY TALK TO ME !!!!!” she captioned the shot.
