“I have a very high-performing job,” she said. “For 90 minutes a night, I have to do choreography, I have to sing, I have to dance, I have to rap and I have to play the flute. And I have to emotionally challenge the audience in very tight clothes, sometimes clothes that restrict my breathing.”
“It’s fun. I love my job. It takes a lot of physical stamina to do what I do, and I used to be a rock star, throwing myself on stage,” Lizzo continued.
“As I became more and more professional in my career, I started to take the physical part more seriously.”
