She toured as a support act for Har Mar Superstar in 2013, and also sang with his band. Lizzo worked on a body positivity campaign What's Underneath for StyleLikeU in 2014, writing the song 'My Skin' after being inspired by the project.
Collaborating with pop icon Prince in 2014 on his album Plectrumelectrum, Lizzo called it "surreal... almost like a fairytale" and that it was "something I will never actually get over." Her second studio album 'Big Grrrl Small World' was released in 2015, and she briefly became a host for MTV.
Lizzo signed with Atlantic Records in 2016, and put out EP 'Coconut Oil that same year, which featured 'Good As Hell', and received huge critical acclaim - with many praising Lizzo for her inspirational lyrics about self-love and self-acceptance.
She went on the 'Good As Hell Tour' in 2017, and also appeared as a guest judge on RuPaul's Drag Race. The following year, she toured with the likes of Haim and Florence and The Machine.
2018.was a big year for Lizzo in different ways - she became a hugely influential figure regarding body positivity, featuring in campaigns and on the covers of magazines. She released her third album 'Cuz I Love You' in January 2019, spawning singles 'Juice' and Tempo featuring Missy Elliott. She then performed at Coachella Festival.
In 2019, she performed at Glastonbury Festival, and released a remix of 'Good As Hell' featuring Ariana Grande. In February 2020, Lizzo told us that she'd love to work with Ariana again - this time on brand new music... Make it happen!
'Rumors' is the first single from Lizzo since she dropped her album 'Cuz I Love You' back in 2019, with the 33-year-old teaming up with her fellow Atlantic Records artist Cardi B for the first time in their careers.
Meanwhile, Cardi announced in April that she was going away for 'a very long time’ to finish her second album.
Speaking to XXL Magazine, the 28-year-old explained: "I feel like at this point, it’s like a timeline that I created. Because last year I was like 'I gotta put out my album this year', but then I just stopped working on my album out of nowhere because I feel like the whole COVID thing discouraged me to put out my album."
