Lizzo's weight loss journey has gained a lot of attention recently. She showcased her transformation during her first live stream on Twitch. Throughout 2024, Lizzo has actively shared her workout routine on social media, receiving encouragement from fans who appreciate her efforts. Her weight loss has also inspired new projects, including a fashion line. Lizzo has been open about her mental health struggles related to her weight for years, and her fans have consistently supported her online.
To announce her Twitch debut, Lizzo used her trademark humor on Instagram, saying, "TikTok is back, but I don’t like feeling gaslit, so I’m having a dance party on Twitch: lizzobetwitchin." This post playfully referenced the recent return of TikTok in the U.S. after a controversial ban, a topic widely discussed on social media. Lizzo's choice to join Twitch aligns with a trend of artists using livestreaming to connect with fans in a more personal way.
Her debut coincided with another trending moment on Twitch involving rapper DDG, who speculated during his broadcast that Donald Trump was behind the TikTok ban to take credit for its return. This speculation quickly spread, sparking debates and adding excitement to the day’s livestreaming events. Kai Cenat, a well-known Twitch creator, often collaborates with big names like SZA and Kevin Hart on his channel.
Lizzo’s move to Twitch shows a change in how artists interact with their audiences, using technology to foster community and creativity. Whether she’s hosting a dance party or sharing life updates, her presence on the platform is set to be just as entertaining and inspiring as her music. With her unique charm and support from Kai Cenat, Lizzo's journey on Twitch is off to an exciting start.
