Before that, Lizzo lived in Minneapolis and has a touching story about her time there, which she shared with Rolling Stone in 2018.
“Out of nowhere, this guy was like ‘Do you want to come to Minneapolis and be in my band?’ And I was like ‘Whatever!’ I went to Minneapolis and I played a show at the Varsity, and this girl came over to me crying and said, ‘I don’t know if you live here but you need to be here and we need to see people like you here.’ That was the most love I had seen from any show in one person. It was one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life. It changed my life."
