Lizzo has hit back at fans for accusing her of throwing shade at fellow singer Taylor Swift.
The singer responded to a post on X which compared figures of her 2025 mixtape ‘My Face Hurts From Smiling’ to those of Swift’s latest record, ‘The Life Of A Showgirl’.
“Can someone explain what this means?” Lizzo asked her followers, to which one fan replied: “It means all that s*** talking you did about Tay finally caught up to you".
Fighting back, Lizzo replied: “Are you well? First of all I have never talked s*** about Taylor Swift – also while we on the subject I’ve never talked shit about any artist. Just because I mention an artist by name does not mean I’m talking shit – grow tf up pls".
Lizzo also went onto explain why she was “interacting with a bunch of stan accounts lately”. She wrote:” So… I haven’t been on Twitter in a while so I’m used to interacting [with] tweets that I think are funny".
“Didn’t realise this whole bitch became stanland 😭", she added.

Elsewhere, Lizzo also blasted claims that she was "throwing" shade ay Olivia Rodrigo, whose album, 'You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love' arrives on June 12.
WOAH! would never shade Olivia Rodrigo I think she’s amazing. Maybe I’ll stop interacting w Stan accounts so there’s no confusion— I need Twitter to give yall a orange check or something https://t.co/ROXC5Bq5jI

The singer also retweeted a post that she was “actually succeeding in getting people to talk about her again” with her social media strategy in the run-up to ‘Bitch’, and another that said she’d “found a way to get people talking”.
She also went on agree that she “took a page out of Cardi [B‘s] 2025 rollout”, too, writing: “Hol up – I’ve publicly said Cardi’s rollout changed the game and that I’m inspired by it. She’s one of the reasons I’m going so hard now".
“I’m not speaking for anyone else cus idk they tea. But me, I definitely took notes honey".
Lizzo's new album, 'Bitch' arrives next Friday, and she recent shared the full tracklist for it, including the track, and the single, 'Don't Make Me Love U'. Check them out below.
