Lizzo is finally coming to Aotearoa and all we have to say about that is, it’s about damn time.
The beloved American singer announced this morning that she is bringing The Special Tour to New Zealand for one massive show at Auckland’s Spark Arena.
Performing on July 26, Lizzo – real name Melissa Viviane Jefferson – is set to play all your favourite songs including Juice, 2 Be Loved and Truth Hurts, and if reviews from her current show dates are anything to go by, it’s going to be good as hell.
Lizzo made her mark on the music industry in 2019 when she released her debut studio album Cuz I Love You. Quickly climbing the charts, the album landed the fourth spot on the Billboard Top 200 list while singles Juice and Tempo went platinum.
Her most popular song to date is Truth Hurts - from the same album. After going platinum nine times and reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100, it was widely recognised for its joyous and emotionally profound sound and became the longest-running number one song by a female rapper ever.
