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.

Oliver Tree’s team has provided a new update following the singer’s death in a helicopter crash on June 14, confirming that a new artist grant will soon be established in his memory to help creatives secure funding, a plan he had detailed in his will before his passing.
Accompanying a collection of photos highlighting Tree’s performances, travels and creative work through the years, a post shared Sunday (June 21) on his Instagram account revealed that the musician’s remains have been brought back to California, the state he called home and where he will be laid to rest. “His legacy will live on through his foundation/endowment named ‘Dr. Oliver Tree’s Extremely Epic Grant For Baby Geniuses’ coming soon,” the caption reads. “This is something that Oliver had put together before his passing.”
“We will make sure his wish comes to fruition so that more joy, love and art can be spread into the world, that was his final wish,” the statement continued, adding that “the constant love, support and positivity” shown by fans throughout the past week has helped his “family, friends and collaborators make it through these extremely difficult times.”
Tree was among six people who lost their lives in a helicopter collision in Rio de Janeiro. The musician was in Brazil for his The World’s First Tour run and had performed what would ultimately be his final concert on June 6 in São Paulo. The other victims of the crash were identified as passengers Lucas Vignale, Gaspar Prim and Lucas Brito Chaves, along with pilots Alexandre Souza and Charles Marsillac.
Just months before his death, Tree discussed his plans to direct his fortune and future earnings from his music toward a grant program for artists during an appearance on the Zach Sang Show. “I take no credit for anything I’ve ever done,” he said during the April interview. “Furthermore, I don’t believe that any of the wealth or things that get made from it is mine. So when I die … my will is set up so that when I pass, my family, nobody is going to get a penny.”
“If I have a wife or kids or anything, they’re not getting a penny,” he added at the time, explaining that the initiative would focus on helping artists create work rather than funding education. “I’ll get my kids through college, that’s the agreement, but there’s not gonna be a silver spoon. All the money is going to go back to artists.”
