In 2019, when Pitchfork published a 6.5 star review for her album Cuz I Love You, the singer wrote in a now-deleted tweet: “PEOPLE WHO ‘REVIEW’ ALBUMS AND DON’T MAKE MUSIC THEMSELVES SHOULD BE UNEMPLOYED.” Lizzo is nominated for five awards at this year’s VMAs: Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, Best pop, Video for Good and Song of the Summer, the last four all for “About Damn Time.” Earlier this year, Lizzo officially declared herself a “body icon” as she spoke about redefining beauty standards in a new interview. She added: “It may not be one person’s ideal body type just like, say, Kim Kardashian might not be someone’s ideal, but she’s a body icon and has created a modern-day beauty standard.” Follow live updates from the 2022 MTV VMAs here.
