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.

Zayn Malik said he truly enjoyed returning to a “pop” sound for his collaboration with BLACKPINK member Jisoo on their track “Eyes Closed.”
The former One Direction singer recently joined her on the ballad and called it a major “honour” to work with someone he considers one of the leading voices “owning that genre” right now.
Speaking while hosting a special hour on BBC Radio 1, he said, “I have drifted away from the pop sound for a bit, so coming back to it with the people who are basically owning that genre at the minute was an honour.”
He added, “If I can say thanks to Jisoo, I am really happy with the way it turned out.”
Zayn also shared that his “cool collaborator” helped him score some serious dad points with his five year old daughter Khai, whom he shares with his former partner, Gigi Hadid.
He wrote on Instagram while posting promo photos from the release, “@sooyaaa__ Jisoo.. you’re an absolute legend, loved every part of this collaboration, thank you for making me the coolest dad around.”
Jisoo replied, “You already are.”
Although he stepped back into pop for “Eyes Closed,” Zayn recently revealed that his next album incorporates influences from Indian music.
The “Pillowtalk” singer confirmed that his fifth studio album will arrive next year and hinted that it will carry a similar spirit to his chart topping 2016 solo debut Mind of Mine.
Zayn was quoted by The Sun’s Bizarre column during a livestream saying, “The next album is soon.”
“I have been working on some cool s*** in South Asian music and bringing those influences into my music as well.”
“It is like pop, R+B, and a lot of Indian influences. The record is like a continuation of Mind of Mine in that sense. I might have some songs coming out in Urdu, too.”
