I Am My Own Sex Symbol

It’s been a fruitful year for the empowering singer-rapper actress-flautist who turned her “Juice” into more chart-topping jams!

- Brody Brown

FYI: Lizzo has been releasing music since 2013, but now (ahem, finally!) the world has zeroed in on the brilliance of the single-named singer’s star wattage. “This year has been incredible,” she tells Us. “Ever since ‘Juice’ dropped in January, it’s just been juicy as f**k.” Indeed, 2019 has been good to Lizzo, awakening a groundswell of devout fans (she calls them “Lizzbians”) who worship her sharp lyrics as much as her empowering attitude. Now the superstar, 31, has snagged an Absolut Juice partnership and is taking her chart-topping album Cuz I Love You on a sold-out North American tour. (She also wowed at the VMAs and has a role in J.Lo’s upcoming Hustlers movie.) The “Truth Hurts” star serves Us some of her deliciously juicy candor.

Q. What has the past year been like for you?
