Lizzo gives inspiring speech accepting Emmy award for Prime Video’s ‘Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrls’
Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls won the Emmy for Outstanding Competition Program and the pop star was overwhelmed with emotion about it. While accepting the award on behalf of the Prime Video series, Lizzo gave the “big girls” of her show the biggest shoutout, while noting that all she wanted to see on television as a child was someone like her.
The Prime Video reality show Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls followed the titular music star as she auditioned dancers for her tour. As you can tell from the title, Lizzo explicitly wanted dancers who other musicians might otherwise count out because of their size. She wanted to show the world their star quality, charisma, and sheer talent.
“The trophy is nice, but my emotion is for these people on the stage with me,” Lizzo said.
