"Lizzo's ascent to mainstream stardom was the type of fairytale that pop dreams are made of. She was a long-hustling musician, Houston-raised then Minneapolis-made."
"In 2019, she had sleeper hit after sleeper hit rise to the top of the charts. First, 2017's bouncy break-up kiss-off Truth Hurts stormed to number one."
"But since 2022, Lizzo's midas touch has waned. It's not for lack of trying: she's released three new singles all in the same throwback-pop vein."
"In 2023, just weeks after she appeared on the massive Barbie soundtrack, three of her former back-up dancers filed a lawsuit against her."
Lizzo's journey to fame included significant hits like 'Truth Hurts' and 'Good as Hell,' establishing her as a bold, body-positive icon. Despite her success, challenges arose in 2023 when former dancers filed a lawsuit against her, alleging sexual misconduct and a hostile work environment. This lawsuit contradicted her image as a progressive figure in the body-positivity movement. Lizzo continued to release music and promote her fashion brand, but the lawsuit overshadowed her recent efforts and impacted her career trajectory.
