Lizzo Struts Slimmer Body Amid Accusations of Dissing Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo

Lizzo, 38, has a history of controversy, including accusations of shading fellow artists. Recently, she faced backlash for allegedly "s*** talking" Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo on social media.

The singer-songwriter showcased her dramatic 60 lbs weight loss in a series of bikini snaps, leaving her 11.3 million Instagram followers in awe. She posed confidently in a tiny string two-piece, urging fans to embrace their bodies and get their "stomach out."

In her post, she declared: "Not enough big grrrls w [sic] they whole stomach out fa me." The response was overwhelming, with fans praising her confidence. One follower exclaimed, "Queen!! if only we all shared the same confidence!"

Lizzo has reframed her body image journey as "weight release," emphasizing health over thinness. She stated, "It was never about being ‘thin’ for me. I don’t even think it’s possible for me to be considered actually ‘thin.’”

She added, "I will always have the stretch, and the skin of a woman who carries great weight. And I’m proud of that. Even when the world doesn’t want me to be."

Despite the positive reception to her body transformation, Lizzo found herself defending her words against accusations of negativity. Responding to claims of disparaging Taylor Swift, she asserted, "Are you well? First of all I have never talked s*** about Taylor Swift— also while we on the subject I’ve never talked s*** about any artist."

Another user accused her of shading Olivia Rodrigo, to which Lizzo replied, "WOAH! would never shade Olivia Rodrigo I think she’s amazing." She suggested that her interactions with fan accounts might be causing misunderstandings.

Lizzo's bold statements and body positivity continue to resonate with many, but the drama surrounding her comments remains a hot topic. "Maybe I’ll stop interacting w Stan accounts so there’s no confusion— I need Twitter to give yall a orange check or something."

Legal penalties for defamation can include monetary damages and injunctions against further statements.
