Lizzo is known for many things: producing chart-topping hit after chart-topping hit, inspiring Tik Tok dances galore, advocating fiercely for body positivity and self-love, winning an Emmy Award for her reality show Watch Out for the Big Grrrls, and, more recently, that wonderful James-Madison’s-flute-twerk moment that threw conservatives into a tizzy even though they had definitely never heard of the flute before Lizzo (who is classically trained!) posted it on Twitter.
Now, however, the “2 Be Loved (Am I Ready)“ singer is, ahem, ready to show the world a new side of herself in the upcoming HBO Max documentary Love, Lizzo, which will focus on the woman behind the sensation.
“Y’all have no idea how close I was to this not being a thing,” Lizzo (born Melissa Vivane Jefferson) says at the start of the trailer about her rise to superstardom. The film will feature home videos (including an adorable clip of a shy pre-teen Lizzo who loved to write pop songs ), archival footage, and behind-the-scenes glances into the recording process to document “the inspirational story behind [Lizzo’s] humble beginnings to her meteoric rise with an intimate look into the moments that shaped her hard-earned rise to fame, success, love and international stardom,” per the logline.
The film is directed by Doug Pray (The Defiant Ones) and executive produced by Lizzo herself, under her company Lizzobangers.
“Nobody was trying to sign a fat, Black girl that rapped and sang and played the flute,” she continues. “It took so much hard work to get to where I am today, but I found my voice. Now, when people see me on stage, they see themselves.”
Love, Lizzo premieres November 24 on HBO Max.

I can’t honestly say I see myself when I see Lizzo onstage, but hey, good on her.
Im ready to love Lizzo, but i live in Canada
Don’t you guys have some sort of Lizz-eh up there?
Nice one. She can heat my igloo up anytime. I hope I can talk to her aboot it.
Lizzo is a natural entertainer. She comes to life in front of an audience/camera. And her whole message really is about love. I don’t care if that sounds corny; anything is better than all of the cynicism.
“She’s every woman; it’s only herrrrr…”Shine on, you crazy diamond!
Yuck. Why would anyone spend time watching this obese bitch?
I guess her contract with Amazon isn’t exclusive.
