How does Lizzo manage the pressures of fame?

The Grammy goes to Lizzo!
Jay Shetty 2:31
What's making you feel like now's the right time and what's given you the confidence and courage to feel that way?
Lizzo 2:35
I think what I learned about fame is even if that's really me, it just becomes kind of like character. It's a brand that now doesn't belong to you anymore. There was a huge scandal I was dealing with a lot. Sometimes I feel like the world just don't love me back. I had my first panic attack ever. And I had this thought. I was just like, you want to die? OK, we'll just die. Like, nobody will care.

I think it's also hard when the things that you stand for are the same things that you're being scrutinized for.
Lizzo 3:07
So when I pop out on a red carpet or when a video suddenly goes viral and my body's different, it appears like it was overnight. The weight that is no longer on me is not just fat or physical. I released so much to get to this point. And to be honest with you, I don't feel like I've expressed myself fully in the last two years.

Stephanie Beatriz 3:32

Jay Shetty 3:38
Oh my gosh. Lizzo, it is so great to have you here. I have been wanting to do this for years. We're such huge fans here. And the last time I saw you, you were performing live at Cannes Lions. You were on stage for the iHeart Festival. I was out there and I'd been told that I had two front row seats reserved so that I could hear you. Yeah. Now what happened is I came into the event. I got into a few conversations. My podcast producer who's in the back right now was meant to take me to this seat. She's such a big fan that she forgot to take me to this seat. So by the time I wanted to make it to this seat, the whole crowd was covered. She was dancing in the front row.
