“There’s not one album that wasn’t directly impacting my personal life,” she explained. “This time I wrote a song that doesn’t have a happy ending.”

Lizzo became one of the most social media-friendly celebs, but she explains that it took a toll on her mentally.

“All viral ain’t good viral. The internet don’t know that they think all viral is good viral. It’s not.”

“Sometimes when my videos going viral, I have an anxiety attack,” she said. “And I’ll be like ‘oh f—, what did I do wrong? I did something wrong? Because I don’t read comments anymore.” She elaborated, saying that she’s had to stop looking at commentary on her posts. “I never scrolled through my comments because that’s hell, but I saw TikTok comments got so mean. You know when I really stopped, after the very backhanded compliments trend.”

She also explained that fan expectations could put her in a shame spiral and then she would have to endure online criticism.

“That was my first time realizing: Oh wow, there can be misconceptions and you’re not in control of it.”

Last month, Lizzo made headlines when she spoke out against the current political climate and presidential administration. The Grammy winner shared her thoughts on BlueSky, referencing white supremacy and social unrest.

“I want real change, and I know what it takes to see real change on a systemic level,” she posted. “Protests bring attention to demands. Marches without demands bear no fruit. Demands without a plan or an ultimatum aren’t threatening to any regime.”
