Lizzo Cried When She Saw Her Name Onscreen at Beyoncé Concert
R&B superstar Lizzo was overcome with emotion when she saw her name appear on the big screen during Beyoncé’s Renaissance tour stop in Detroit on Tuesday night.
In a video posted to Instagram, Lizzo can be seen getting teary-eyed as Bey performed her song “Break My Soul.” The moment was especially meaningful for Lizzo, who has long cited Beyoncé as an inspiration.
“In that moment I was thinking about baby me,” Lizzo captioned the sweet video. “The little Black girl who never saw herself represented in the media, who was constantly told she was ‘too big’ or ‘too loud’ or ‘too Black.'”
“But to see my name on that screen,” she continued, “to see myself represented in that way, was healing.”
Lizzo’s reaction to seeing her name on the big screen is a reminder of the power of representation. When people see themselves reflected in the media, it can be a powerful validation of their worth. It can also help to break down stereotypes and challenge negative perceptions.
Lizzo’s story is one of many that demonstrate the power of representation. By seeing themselves reflected in the media, people can be inspired to believe in themselves and their dreams. They can also be empowered to challenge the status quo and create a more just and equitable world.
