On the stage screen, Lizzo’s name popped up amongst a list of many iconic Black female musicians, including the likes of Nina Simone, Destiny’s Child bandmate Kelly Rowland, and Beyoncé’s sister Solange Knowles. The heartwarming display was lit up as Beyoncé sang one of her most recent hits, Break My Soul (The Queens Remix).
In the caption of her video, Lizzo went on to express how much the inclusion of her name meant to her.
“In that moment I was thinking about baby me, listening to Happy Face by destiny’s child and crying myself to sleep because of bullies…” the Truth Hurts hitmaker wrote.
“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,” she continued.
Lizzo concluded her post with a final message to her hero. “We are all so infinitesimally and maximally connected and significant. It’s an honor. Thank You @beyonce,” she gushed.
Many of Lizzo’s fans have since taken to her comments section to congratulate her on her recognition.
“OMG!!! You are so humble and down to earth!! You deserve everything!!! Go Lizzo!” one follower replied.
“Oh gawd – I just cried FOR you,” another added.
“We want Lizzo feat Beyoncé,” a third fan hoped.
Now that is something that we would certainly love to hear!
