Lizzo talks hot girl summer & white girl fans:
Can you name anyone, save for maybe Megan Thee Stallion herself, who's had a more successful Hot Girl Summer than Lizzo? No? I didn't think so.
I spoke with Lizzo about all of this and everything else, like: playing the flute for a twerking Megan Thee Stallion, working with her icon, and yes, navigating a fandom that includes a lot of white women. Check out our conversation, below.I am not, I am Chicagoan. [laughs] I am just a girl from the Midwest.The VMAs were really interesting. I was kind of nervous about it the whole time. I was afraid that I wouldn't say the right thing, and I was really outside of my comfort zone.
My fan base was primarily indie. I was an indie rapper and an indie performer. I was playing a lot of festivals. My audiences were a reflection of that. I didn't have as many Black people coming to my shows as now. That's just a matter of exposure and different privileges, and that's fine. I'll say, though, that I've always been this way. My message is just inclusive. I'm not saying,"I am Black and I'm twerking, so this is only for Black women.
She said something really sweet on that stage. She's a Cancer, so she's very emotional. She said,"If my heart could speak, you would know how I feel." It was the most spot-on thing that she's ever said, because it made me realize: That's Missy in a nutshell. If her heart could speak, that's what her art would be. If her heart could speak, that's what all the advice and all the moments I've shared with her would look like. It's all heart.
[Ed. note: The interview momentarily paused here because I was cackling so hard. We truly don't deserve Megan Thee Stallion.] You've been so busy at festivals, award shows, events, and you're touring. Are you going to be taking a break soon?
