    Stopped liking lizzo when she publicly shamed a door dash empoyee all over her twitter with millions of followers over a mistake. She may appeat to spread a positive message but at the end of the day shes still just an angry fat lady when she doesnt get her food fast enough.



  4. Romona Safree on January 3, 2023 at 2:11 am

    Lizzo is truly AMAZING!



  5. Ize Zee on January 3, 2023 at 2:12 am

    I 💚 Lizzo



  6. Shay on January 3, 2023 at 2:13 am

    This "interviewers" questions and upper Westside Manhattan facial expressions are getting on my nerves. She’s talking to her as if she’s talking to a foreign object. Cbs do better.



  7. LuvlyLeo on January 3, 2023 at 2:14 am

    She’s so precious ❤️💯



  8. mama bear berry on January 3, 2023 at 2:15 am

    I h8 the interviewers facial expressions n dullness.. she looks disturbed…Love lizzo though ..



  9. iDesk Pooh on January 3, 2023 at 2:15 am

    4:45 that hit hard



  10. Alyssa mcdonald on January 3, 2023 at 2:16 am

    The end was everything.

    Lizzo ~ you share a birthday with the amazing Lori Bruno of Salem, MA fame ~ check her out. The Knights of the Winged Lion love you and both of your amazing, light filled souls will be featured in our next novel. Here’s to Seven of Clubs’ girls. >^..^<



  12. Andreína Lisette on January 3, 2023 at 2:19 am

    I LOVE LIZZO!!!



  13. Mecca Mitchell on January 3, 2023 at 2:22 am

    She’s so tacky and annoying 🤦🏽‍♀️



  14. V Felder on January 3, 2023 at 2:24 am

    For my fellow Scientology sleuths coming here from Aaron Smith-Levitt’s video, she mentions engrams at 18:34



  15. theartisancourtesan on January 3, 2023 at 2:24 am

    So I’m so late in discovering her, my mom actually played her song in the car yesterday! Obsessed! After watching this interview I’m officially in LOVE with her! Her personality is so amazing and you can tell she’s really genuine, grounded and sincere. Love you lizzo



  16. Tiffany on January 3, 2023 at 2:25 am

    Lizzo…in a symphony. 😶



  17. Lafida LA. on January 3, 2023 at 2:26 am

    This is for the interviewer: your gaze is too aggressive. It’s rude



  18. CityLightsLA on January 3, 2023 at 2:28 am

    Lizzo and her sister vanessa are amazing. Beautiful people inside and out!



  19. Alain Bruno on January 3, 2023 at 2:28 am

    She is an inspiration 💪



  20. Angel Moore on January 3, 2023 at 2:29 am

    I tell myself I look terrible when I look good it’s called reverse psychology it keeps me grounded



  21. Traci Cimino on January 3, 2023 at 2:29 am

    I would like to know what made her feel so un-confident. That is what needs to be changed.



  22. Chef Bobby on January 3, 2023 at 2:29 am

    lol fat

  26. Kashaf Z on January 3, 2023 at 2:35 am

    Damn. She has a good vocabulary. 👏🏻



  27. Gretchen Ciarlo on January 3, 2023 at 2:36 am

    🐳



  30. Tiffany on January 3, 2023 at 2:39 am

    What..insecure about her smile? Her smile was THE first thing I noticed. It’s sooooo cute!



  31. Roza Akram on January 3, 2023 at 2:40 am

    Lizzo’s personality is infectious. We need more ppl like this in the world 💓



  32. Folasko on January 3, 2023 at 2:41 am

    I love the interviewer on point questions and very empathetic.



  33. RCB on January 3, 2023 at 2:41 am

    When you have the natural gift-learning by ear is in perfect order.



  34. Azure Bleu on January 3, 2023 at 2:42 am

    Perfect U R 💙🌞



  35. theowllands on January 3, 2023 at 2:43 am

    Lizzo wearing natural and interacting with a white woman is a great image because there’s acceptance



  36. Crystal Guidry on January 3, 2023 at 2:43 am

    Most older white women can’t look at Lizzo correctly; you can see the disrespect on their faces



  37. sheafamily3 on January 3, 2023 at 2:44 am

    Girl… you are so WISE for one so young. I am PROUD of you.



  38. Rayjah Gordon on January 3, 2023 at 2:44 am

    I love me some lizzo❤️❤️



  39. Sandra Dent on January 3, 2023 at 2:44 am

    I wish she would do less "rap" and more music. Yes, I am old. Now as a person WOW! What a life story, she is an amazing woman. CBS – we NEED more stories like this! No one else is doing it.



  40. dave luck on January 3, 2023 at 2:45 am

    Nice to know she has read Dianetics ,, maybe more .. 🙂



  41. Gabriela Olvera on January 3, 2023 at 2:46 am

    Sooo different thank cardy b



  42. Love & Light on January 3, 2023 at 2:48 am

    She hit the nail on the head about coming of age in college and trying to find your way. She described it perfectly. I could relate to her emotions. I can’t believe how she became a singer. Hiking in Colorado. Walking and singing.



  43. Msindisi Mtsotso on January 3, 2023 at 2:50 am

    This is such a fun interview.



  44. Marcos on January 3, 2023 at 2:55 am

    Damn, she’s FANTASTIC!



  45. Raymond DiGiacomo on January 3, 2023 at 2:55 am

    This is the best interview with a pop star I’ve ever seen. SO different from the pat PR stuff you see on The Tonight Show or E!, etc. Lizzo obviously really felt comfortable with Smith and went DEEP. Great TV.



  46. L A on January 3, 2023 at 2:57 am

    Wonderful, natural, funny, confident woman, determined, hard working woman….Respect.



  47. th3n04h on January 3, 2023 at 2:58 am

    That was a really good The Mars Volta joke 11:25



  48. Jolyette Frye on January 3, 2023 at 2:59 am

    This lady has soo much energy ‼ She is super interesting. I could listen 2 her talk all day. 🎇 A breath of fresh air.



  49. Lissette Vazquez on January 3, 2023 at 3:01 am

    I love, love, love Lizzo! 🥰🥰🥰



  50. Mariama Jobe on January 3, 2023 at 3:02 am

    She’s a true star seed
