…and I misspelled “too” in the title, of course I did. Definitely too stressed.

This is, as the youth say, a whole mood.

I love her so much.

"The new Lizzo video is the embodiment of absolute delight" feels like one of those basic universal truths that doesn't need saying, but it still ought to be said.

Ha! Just watched this video again, and there are scenes near the end with boring white guys literally unleashing their inner dancing black women, and man, that's exactly what I wish I could do!

How did you get "boring white guys" out of it? Weren't they athletes and workmen in the building?
posted by the sobsister at 12:14 PM on April 15, 2022

Well, they certainly weren't fabulous white guys....

Nice one, I have a feeling this is going to be big for the summer.

And I just discovered that she covered Stayin' Alive. It's disco Friday!

She no longer lives here and wasn’t here for too long but Minnesota claims Lizzo as 100% Minnesotan.

Omg this is perfection!

Her SNL performance was so joyful. She kept giggling, everyone around her kept cracking up. It must have been a really fun week of rehearsal.

So glad she was in every sketch! (at least on YouTube).
