Lizzo is feeling pretty damn good after the 75th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards.
Following Saturday and Sunday’s prime-time Achievement Awards, the 35-year-old pop star took to Instagram to celebrate the nomination with her Max concert special Lizzo: Live concert received. Although she didn’t take home the award for Outstanding Variety Special, the singer/rapper wrote that she feels like the team behind the project are “already winners” and shared that she’s “doing shots” to celebrate.
The “Special” singer released a carousel of footage from her onstage performance in the concert film, which was released in late 2022 and features footage from one of her performances at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles.
In the title, she tagged the Television Academy and the entire team behind the documentary to express her gratitude and open up about what the nomination means to her.
