'I am who I want to be': Lizzo opens up about her new documentary 'Love, Lizzo,' her upcoming concert film, stage anxiety, identity theft, Harry Styles' music, and why she can't be defined.
, and unveiling her new documentaryThe film gives a glimpse into what's made Melissa Jefferson an international star — from her early roots in Detroit and Houston, her dad's death, and living out of her car to her early music career in Minneapolis and her eventual breakthrough.

And how music has this visceral effect on me. And the funny part in the end where I was like, "Music is so powerful," and my makeup artist Alex was like, "You should really go to a Lizzo show.
