Singer Lizzo has opened up about her changing weight, personal health journey and the intense public scrutiny she faces over her appearance.
The Grammy-winning artist explained that her transformation was not linked to a single reason, saying several factors influenced the changes in her lifestyle and body.
In an interview with The Guardian, Lizzo shared that her physical weight had started affecting her daily life, including causing joint pain and discomfort.
She said stepping away from social media helped her focus on areas she could control, including her routines, habits, health and creative work.
The “About Damn Time” singer revealed that she became more focused on herself while spending time in the studio and reflecting on her personal goals.

Lizzo has experienced weight changes since 2024 and has previously denied using GLP-1 medications for weight loss. She also acknowledged that her weight continues to naturally fluctuate.
“I’ve gained 20 pounds since last year,” Lizzo said, explaining that discussions about weight should not only focus on weight loss but also recognize normal changes in people’s bodies.
The singer also addressed the pressure faced by women, especially public figures, who are often judged based on their appearance.
According to Lizzo, society and media expectations create constant pressure that can affect people’s confidence and self-image.
She criticized what she described as a system that encourages insecurity by promoting unrealistic standards and pushing people toward products and solutions designed around those pressures
