Lizzo recently reacted to rumors suggesting she might be at odds with Taylor Swift. The matter began on the platform X, after a post comparing different music projects, which quickly created confusion among some online observers.
In this context, Lizzo herself re-shared the post, which also included a clip from her video STFU, asking her community to explain its meaning. She simply wrote: “Could someone explain to me what this means?”, showing that she didn’t understand the interpretation circulating around the post.
Subsequently, a user responded more directly and accusatorily: “That means all the crap you said about Tay has finally caught up with you.” Lizzo was quick to clarify the situation.
The singer then replied firmly by writing: “Are you okay?”, before denying any hostility toward Taylor Swift. She went on to clarify: “First, I’ve never said anything bad about Taylor Swift. And for that matter, I’ve never said anything bad about any artist. Just because I quote an artist doesn’t mean I’m speaking ill of them. Please grow up.”
With this statement, Lizzo aimed to put an end to negative interpretations and remind everyone that she does not make derogatory remarks about other artists, stressing that her quotes are often taken out of context.
Far From a Feud
Even though the user who started the comments did not spell out the reasons for their accusations against Taylor Swift, all signs point to Lizzo maintaining an appreciation for the pop star. Over the years, the singer has repeatedly demonstrated her respect and admiration for Taylor Swift’s work, even highlighting similarities between their artistic approaches.
Lizzo has notably discussed how both artists draw heavily from their personal lives to write their songs, particularly their experiences with love, relationships, and breakups. According to her, this authenticity is at the heart of their creativity and helps connect with their audience.
As she put it, sometimes it’s just a storm in a teacup!
So, would you have believed there was tension between the two singers?
