Lizzo defends herself against rumors about comments against Taylor Swift
When rumors started swirling online about Lizzo making disparaging remarks about Taylor Swift, the 'About Damn Time' singer was quick to defend herself from online trolls. After someone replied to her latest post regarding the matter, Lizzo asked if they were well and later clarified that she had never said anything negative about the 'Opalite' singer.
Her post read: 'Are you well? First of all, I have never talked s--- about Taylor Swift— also while we on the subject, I've never talked s--- about any artist.' She added, 'Just because I mention an artist by name does not mean I'm talking s---— grow tf up pls.'
Recently, someone took to social media and posted a comment saying, 'The Life Of A Showgirl + MY FACE HURTS FROM SMILING — 4.005M. ICEMAN + MAID OF HONOUR + HABIBTI — 683k.' As the post went viral, Lizzo reshared it on her account in a quote asking fans for clarification on what this meant. Another netizen then posted, 'It means all that s--- talking you did about Tay finally caught up to you.' This prompted the 38-year-old musician to jump to her own defense against the rumors.
What comment from Lizzo are the rumors referring to?
Earlier this month, Lizzo released the first single from her upcoming album, titled 'BI***.' While promoting and discussing her latest single on the 'Genius Verified' podcast on May 15, she mentioned Swift's name and talked about how Swift's older songs, which were rereleased by her, are commonly called '(Taylor's version).' Similarly, Lizzo called her song 'Lizzo's version.'
During the interview, she had been talking about Meredith Brooks' 1997 song of the same name and drawing from it, which prompted her to say, 'I want the whole world to know that this is her record.' She then commented, 'I was like, 'This is Lizzo's version.' You know how it's like, 'Taylor's Version?' It's like, 'Bi*** (Lizzo's Version).''
