Leave it to Lizzo to bring the hype to Super Bowl LIV!
The GRAMMY Award-winning singer headlined day two of SiriusXM and Pandora’s Super Bowl Week Opening Drive Super Concert Series on Thursday (January 30) in Miami Beach, FL and it was so good, we’re still talking about it.

It was Lizzo’s first show since winning three awards at the 62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards last Sunday (January 26) and she made sure to tell everyone in the audience that this was the way she was celebrating the big wins — doing what she really loves.
Performing her hits like “Cuz I Love You,” “Truth Hurts,” and “Tempo,” the 31-year-old singer had the audience singing along to every lyric while empowering them to love themselves just the way they are.
“In 2020, we are f*ckboy free,” Lizzo told the crowd. “We left them in the last decade and now its time for some self-love.”
Highlighting that she was headlining an event at one of the largest sporting events of the year, Lizzo couldn’t help but bring up the tragic death of Kobe and Gianna Bryant that happened less than a week ago, saying that she “can’t be at this event without thinking of them in her heart.”
“We have to hold them up in honor as sports fans, music fans and human beings. I didn’t know him, you guys probably didn’t either, but you felt it. It hurt. And that’s because we’re all connected. We have to be good to each other and we son’t know if tomorrow is promised. So I want you all to just be good to yourself and good to each other,” she said, before performing “Good As Hell” in his honor.

If you thought that Lizzo couldn’t top what she just did for an hour and a half on stage, think again. The R&B artist ended things with a performance of her pop anthem “Juice” and brought out special guest Harry Styles to help her end the night! It was a moment that we’ll never forget and it seems like everyone else won’t either, as each person was singing along while filming the iconic moment.
