She was chosen by a flute specialist teacher to play the instrument in fifth grade. “I don't know why she picked me,” Lizzo said. “I think—later on, she was like, you know, you just had a good embouchure.

When I was a senior in high school, or a junior, I started studying with the principal flutist of the Houston Opera, and she was also a professor at the University of Houston. So I was studying with Sydney Carlson for years. And she was kind of, like, priming me to go to U of H. She got me my scholarship to U of H.

“And then at night, I would stay up and rap at fashion shows, and try to stay up, and keep up with all the fraternities and sororities,” she said. “And that was really taking a toll on me. And I was like, who are you, you know? At this point, you could do it all through high school, but you're in college now. You're about to be who you're going to be forever. And now, who is that?”Alyssa Bailey is the senior news and strategy editor at ELLE.
