At the 2023 Grammy Awards on Sunday, Lizzo won the prestigious Record of the Year award, and it was About Damn Time!
Lizzo garnered applause as she won Grammy for her song About Damn Time but the singer turned the spotlight to shine on Beyoncé.
During her award winning speech, she said: “Beyoncé. 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. Where you at Beyoncé? You changed my life. When you sang that gospel medley, 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. I love you, god bless y’all!” Lizzo exclaimed.
Lizzo had won three Grammys, all of which were awarded in 2020. She took home Best Pop Solo Performance for Truth Hurts, as well as Best Traditional R&B Performance and Best Urban Contemporary Album, both for her 2019 LP, Cuz I Love You. The singer will kick off a massive tour in support of Special later this month.
However, Lizzo declared that the win was “so unexpected” as she and Adele were “just enjoying themselves” and “rooting for their friends” during the night.
