ABOUT LIZZO    

A 3x GRAMMY® Award-winning singer, songwriter, rapper, actress, and so much more, Lizzo has shifted the sound, soul, and spirit of popular music and culture. 2019’s now-classic, RIAA platinum certified debut album,  CUZ I LOVE YOU , bowed at #4 on the Billboard 200, fueled in part by such history-making hits as the platinum certified “Tempo (Feat. Missy Elliott),” the 2x platinum “Juice,” the 4x platinum “Good As Hell,” and the 7x platinum “Truth Hurts.” The latter of which ascended to #1 on  Billboard ’s “Hot 100,” affirming Lizzo as only the third female rapper to top the chart without a featured artist, as well as the first black solo female R&B singer to claim the top spot since 2012. “Truth Hurts” dominated the chart for seven weeks, further making history as the longest running #1 by a solo female rap artist ever. Named by Rolling Stone as one of the “500 Greatest Songs Of All Time,” “Truth Hurts” went on to earn a 2020 GRAMMY® Award for “Best Pop Solo Performance,” with  CUZ I LOVE YOU (DELUXE)  receiving that year’s GRAMMY® for “Best Urban Contemporary Album” and “Jerome” earning “Best Traditional R&B Performance.” 

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 15 th .

Lizzo’s “Special Tour” Showcases All of Her (Many) Talents: Review

The evening showcased all of Lizzo's special talents, from powerhouse singing, to flute playing, to motivational speaking and choreo slaying

A visibly moved Lizzo returned to the stage Friday night for the debut show on her “Special Tour” (get tickets here ), a 28-date jaunt in support of her latest studio album, Special . Part variety show spectacle, part megachurch empowerment retreat, the performance showcased all of Lizzo’s special talents, from powerhouse singing, to flute playing, to motivational speaking and choreo slaying.

“My name is Lizzo, and welcome to the first night of my very first arena tour,” she said proudly in one of many moments when deep gratitude registered on her face as she paused to take in the rapturous screams of thousands. Before the stage lights blinked on and opener “The Sign” blared over the sound system, a voiceover of the singer set the heartening tone for the evening.

“I really believe that love for oneself and for others is what this world needs to be a better place,” she said in what would become the first of many motivational tangents of the evening. “If you can just take the time to give a little love to yourself every single day, treat yourself with respect, treat yourself the way you deserve to be treated, treat somebody else with that same love and respect — that expands, that grows, and that can save a life.”

As the last few words echoed, the singer emerged from the stage floor in a shimmering blue cutout bodysuit and matching eyeshadow. Still clutching her chest in a wordless expression of appreciation, she launched into “2 Be Loved (Am I Ready)” as her dancers, The Big Grrrls, dashed onto the stage dressed in bright Barbiecore pink.

Recalling Beyoncé’s early solo tours, Lizzo’s stage was dominated by women, from the band to the backup singers, dancers, and DJ. An extensive guitar solo introduced the brilliant “Tempo,” during which The Big Grrrls showed out with an invigatoring freestyle dance-off.

“Am I turning thick girls into hos, or am I turning thick girls into Emmy winners?” Lizzo laughed into the mic, nodding to her recent Emmy win for reality dance competition Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls , which has thrust the multi-hyphenate performer into the EGOT conversation. The “Special Tour” goes a long way to make the case that she has the chops to get there.

At the very least, the show proves Lizzo would absolutely crush a Vegas residency. Once a retirement plan for past-their-prime performers, the form has been reinvented in recent years by powerhouse pop stars like Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars — performers who, like Lizzo, are able to draw upon a multitude of talents to craft a show that goes well beyond the traditional song and dance.

‘This is our moment together’: Lizzo kicks off Australian tour with spectacular, celebratory joy

RAC Arena, Perth In Perth for the first time, the pop star pulled out all the stops – and the flute – for her Special tour that’s all about power, inclusivity and love

• Get our weekend culture and lifestyle email

It’s a sea of sequins and glitter among the audience. The lights go down, and neon red letters fill the screen: “THIS IS A SHOW ABOUT LOVE.”

Lizzo fans, of course, already know what they’re in for: deft lyricism, boundless warmth and pure joy. The US pop star’s last tour, Cuz I Love You Too at the start of 2020, didn’t make it to Perth; for Australia’s west coast, it’s been a long wait.

Friday night at the RAC Arena marks the first Australian show on her Special tour, and her voice fills the room almost instantly, opening with Cuz I Love You. In black leather, under a spectacle of bright red lights, she’s soulful and she’s a force: flanked on either side by her dancers, but undoubtedly the centrepiece.

The crowd is largely women, of all ages and ethnicities, many in their own sparkling outfits. There are rhinestone fringes, metallic streamers in the hair, a mother and daughter with fairy lights wrapped around themselves, and pink – so much pink. Juice and 2 Be Loved ring out across the stadium, before Lizzo speaks to us directly: “When was the last time you said something kind about yourself?” she asks. “It’s been too damn long!”

Visually, the show is a delight from the beginning. At times it’s pure fun, like the neon line drawings that accompany the first half of the setlist, accordingly upbeat; elsewhere, we get artful videos of Lizzo herself, celebratory in their beauty. She launches into Soulmate, giving each of her dancers their own moment to shine, before a tidy segue into Grrrls and a thumping rendition of Boys.

For Tempo, the lights dim, the vibe gets sultry, and the dancers don’t hold back. The song features Missy Elliott in the recording; on stage, Elliott sends Lizzo an audio message: “You’re going to be around for a very, very, very long time.” Though there are 15,000 of us in the crowd, there’s an intimacy that feels rare for a show of this size. Lizzo is taking us into her world. “This is our moment together,” she tells us. “I want you to say ‘I’m special’,” prefacing her song of the same name.

And yet, Lizzo herself knows not everyone can be a fan. When she plays Rumors, comments from the internet fill the screen behind her through brightly coloured chat bubbles, ranging from the maddeningly common – “Is that a BBL?,” “She’s prettier in person” – to the comical – “Lizzo parties in the Bermuda triangle,” “Lizzo played an alien flute at Area 51.” Cardi B joins us for her verse – through a video selfie played on a screen, as though she’s FaceTiming into the room. As Like a Girl begins, Lizzo gestures to her spectacularly bejeweled microphone stand: “I want you to think of this as your ex,” she says, and kicks it to the ground.

Halfway through, we’re taken through a meditation, beginning with a guided breathing exercise, and ending with an affirmation: “I am free.” Lizzo references the meditation later on: “Did it make you feel better? … I’m back here doing it too, visualising my higher self, loving on my higher self. I can come here and sing you songs, but if you don’t leave here feeling better, then I didn’t do my job!”

As the lights go down, footage of Lizzo fills the screen, showcasing her body. “My body is beautiful,” she narrates. “My body is nobody’s business.” Purple smoke fills the room, and she re-emerges in a shimmering gold dress for Jerome. Lizzo is vocally resplendent, effortlessly hitting every note and run; she belts, she growls, she kneels to the stage to close the song. For her song Coldplay, she brings out the flute – the instrument she’s been classically trained in, mastering since childhood – and the notes float through the air. As the crowd lights up the venue, waving their phones, she tells us: “This light represents the love you have for yourself.” It’s a tender interlude, but she’s back to her usual pace soon enough. “Should we play more flute?” she asks, and the response is the loudest of the night.

Lizzo delivers with a virtuosic solo before leading into Truth Hurts, which remains the longest-running No 1 song by a solo female rap artist on the Billboard charts in history. The energy in the room is rapturous. At one point, she’s twerking and playing the flute simultaneously without missing a beat, and the crowd is, in millennial speak, here for it .

“It’s about to get funky in here,” she calls out, belting Chaka Khan’s I’m Every Woman, and into Everybody’s Gay. Rainbow lights frame the stage, and rainbow silhouettes echo her moves. On stage, Lizzo drapes herself in a flag with colours representing the LGBTQIA+ community, with the notable inclusion of brown and black stripes – Daniel Quasar’s Progress Pride flag, designed in 2015 to include and celebrate the trans community and people of colour. She dedicates this one to the queer women, and the trans women.

Notable throughout the show is the emphasis on Lizzo’s band and her dancers; she gives ample time to each individual performer, in moments that make for some of the most impressive of the night. Her inclusivity extends to the rapt room around her. She summons a flute for an audience member, a flautist, who performs a rendition of Down Under for Lizzo from the floor. She sings Birthday Girl to a birthday girl. “Ain’t no such thing as nosebleeds, baby! I love you!” she yells to those at the back – complimenting outfits, reading homemade signs (“Oh, baby, your ‘P’ is upside down.” It’s promptly turned up the right way.). She directs the cameras to a lady dressed in a hot pink cloud dress, layers of tulle, to tell her she looks beautiful.

Lizzo closes the show with the four-times platinum Good as Hell, before returning for an encore with About Damn Time. As the crowd pours out of the arena, buzzing and beaming, there’s no doubt that Lizzo did her job tonight. It was a show about love, and that love flowed both ways.

Lizzo’s tour continues this month in Melbourne, Sydney and Auckland. She is also headlining Splendour in the Grass , which kicks off in Byron Bay on 21 July
