My addiction to Lizzo began in the peak of summer in a dusty somerset field. The West holts stage to be specific.
Lizzo’s energy could turbo-charge a small city, bolstered by the help of her right hand lady DJ Sophia Eris and her fantastic dance partners she delivers a show like no other. The show begins with the 31 year old American strutting nonchalantly on stage with her dancers behind her wearing bridal veils and holding bunches of flowers.
Out of context the veils may seem completely random but there’s a reason. Normally for shows on her ‘Cuz I Love You’ tour the stage is designed like a church. However for Glasto she switched it up and emblazoned her album cover on the back of the stage for the world to see. One of the standout moments of the show was the performance of “Good as hell” before the song Lizzo demanded the crowd repeat a three part mantra of hers.
“I love you.
You are beautiful.
And you can do anything”
There was a tangible communal spirit in the air, like one big open air body confidence ted talk. Men and women of all ages were belting their hearts out to empowering pop. Some crying, others laughing, some twerking to their heart’s content. Lizzo real name Melissa Jefferson has been the golden girl of 2019. Cutting through the smoke and mirrors of major label pop, Lizzo’s ethos and message is a breath of fresh air.
