Here, Lizzo discusses the beauty routine she “forced” on herself and the best advice Missy Elliott gave her. Last month, Amazon Studios released Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls, a reality show about her search for backup dancers for her upcoming tour, on Prime Video. She’s a classically trained flutist who plays the instrument in many of her songs and is known for infusing hip-hop with other genres including soul, R&B and funk-pop. She began her music career in Minneapolis, creating two studio albums before rising to fame with 2019’s Cuz I Love You, which was nominated for eight Grammys and won three. Lizzo, whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson, was born and raised in Detroit before moving to Houston at age 10.
