Lizzo gets teared up while watching the performance of Beyoncé at the Renaissance World Tour. In a video posted by the singer on Instagram ‘About Damn Time’ has been name-checked by Queen Bey while she is singing “Break My Soul (The Queens Remix)”. Beyoncé called her name while running a list of iconic Black women entertainers that also includes Nina Simone, Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill, and more.
Lizzo thanked Beyoncé For the honor
The “Special” singer wrote in the post, “At that moment I was thinking about baby me, listening to ‘Happy Face’ by Destiny’s Child and crying myself to sleep because of bullies… I thought about Beyoncé jumping into the room where Tina Turner was waiting to meet her for the first time. I think of what we all mean to people and how cyclical it is. We are all so infinitesimally and maximally connected and significant. It’s an honor. Thank You @beyonce.”
Needless to say, like thousands of people in the world Beyoncé has also been an Idol for the singer as well. This isn’t the first time she thanked the singer. Previously this year she acknowledged the singer during her Grammy speech.
“And lastly, because I feel like there are so many G.O.A.T.’d artists. Beyoncé, whoo! In the fifth grade, I skipped school to see you perform. Where you at, Beyoncé — my eyes are wet. Hah! You changed my life. 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,” she gushed. “So thank you so much. You clearly are the artist of our lives!” – the singer said in her speech.
It’s indeed a special moment for her.
