Lizzo celebrates Grammys at pre-Super Bowl show

At a pre-Super Bowl concert, Lizzo reflected on her soaring career as she remembered attending the big game as a teenager, watching Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake join forces onstage.

“Our high school got selected to be in the crowd on the field during Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson,” she said Thursday, referring to the 2004 Super Bowl in Houston. “Now here I am performing for the Super Bowl. I got a song with Justin Timberlake. And Janet Jackson likes my music. A lot can happen in a lifetime.”

The 31-year-old singer-rapper, who is also a classically trained flutist, relished in her accomplishments as she headlined the SiriusXM & Pandora Opening Drive Super Concert Series at The Fillmore Miami Beach.

Lizzo blazed the stage for two hours, even duetting with former One Direction singer Harry Styles on “Juice” in a surprise performance to close the show.

She preached messages of self-love and pride.
