Lizzo stops by ‘Daily Show’ to talk Body Positivity, Love and Loss

Lizzo has become a household name in 2019, and it is well deserved. Ob Thursday night, April 11th, Lizzo made time to stop by The Daily Show. Despite her gearing up to release her major label debut album and prepping her upcoming performance at Coachella. She touched on her forthcoming project Cuz I Love You, body positivity, and the loss of her father throughout her chat with Trevor Noah.

When asked about her late father, Lizzo expressed “When he passed away, I got really depressed.. I quit music. I was like, ‘I have no reason to do this anymore because I was doing it for him.’ Then, I realized I have to do this for myself because he was doing it for me.”

On the topic of body positivity, Lizzo referenced  a message on the subject back in 2015 with the song “I’m In Love With Myself.” “I think that it’s so interesting that body positivity is now this buzzing term. There’s no term for body negativity because it’s the norm we expect. At this point, I realized my mere existence is a form of activism, especially in the body positive community.”
