Lizzo is clearing the air on her body transformation journey.
Her recent weight loss wasn’t about fame or fitting a mold—it was deeply personal. After months of dedication, she says she’s not just changed her appearance but reclaimed how she feels in her own skin.
On the Just Trish podcast, the Grammy winner looked back on her biggest red carpet moments, including the Met Gala, where she showed up at her heaviest. Even then, she radiated confidence.
“Size never stopped my shine,” she said.
Before the transformation, Lizzo has always preached a body-positive message in her music.
But now, the compliments feel different.
“When people say I look good, I believe them,” she added. “Because I feel it.”
Her transformation came through consistency, not shortcuts. Lizzo dropped 16 percent of her body fat, revamped her skincare, wore Invisalign, and stuck to a gym routine.
The changes weren’t just cosmetic—they were emotional. She wasn’t trying to disappear. She was showing up for herself.
Lizzo is allegedly scheduled to release her fifth studio album, Love in Real Life, in summer 2025—a project shaped by personal growth and artistic renewal. She confirmed its completion on Instagram in March, sharing it came together on the same day she endured a root canal and appeared on SNL.
Lizzo introduced the album’s themes during a February Twitch stream, emphasizing emotional truth over digital trends. That spirit anchors the record’s spoken-word opener, “Everything Was So Much Simpler,” setting the tone for an album rooted in real.
Created during a storm of legal and emotional challenges, the album reflects a shift toward rock textures and deeper lyrical exploration. Lizzo’s upcoming shows at venues like the Wiltern and Irving Plaza promise an intimate rollout.
Love in Real Life signals Lizzo’s return—not just to music, but to herself. It’s fearless, honest, and driven by a need to speak from the soul.

A$AP Rocky has revealed that it took years of persistence before Tim Burton agreed to create the cover artwork for his upcoming album, Don’t Be Dumb. The rapper reflected on how the unlikely collaboration finally came together during a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday.
Going into detail about the process, Rocky confessed that he “basically had to stalk and harass him for a few years” before things clicked. He explained, “I reached out and told him I would love to hang out, play him some vibes and just connect. I ended up going to Malibu while he was on a break, and he was feeling it. I played him an early version of the album and he really liked it. That’s when I asked, ‘Do you think you might want to do the illustration for this?’ He was open to it, but then suddenly he had Wednesday and Beetlejuice 2 going on. I realized this was going to take a lot longer than I thought.”
A$AP Rocky went on to describe a moment that really stuck with him during that visit. “While I was there, I noticed a sketch sitting on the table and asked if he drew it,” he said. “He told me that every morning he and his daughter work on drawings together. He starts one, then she comes in and finishes it or changes it. It’s something they practice daily. I saw it as their bond, and to me, that felt priceless.”
On Tuesday, A$AP Rocky also released a double music video for his tracks “WHISKEY” and “BLACK DEMARCO.” Tim Burton appears in the visual and contributed multiple illustrations that tie into the project.
Alongside the release of the “WHISKEY” and “BLACK DEMARCO” video, Rocky officially unveiled the Don’t Be Dumb World Tour. The run will include 42 dates across North America, Europe, and the United Kingdom, with shows scheduled throughout 2026.
