When the world first heard of Lizzo’s explosive rise to fame, most people focused on her booming voice, her unapologetic confidence, and her message of body positivity. Few imagined that the singer would later reveal a personal secret that seemed almost as bold as her stage presence: she didn’t lose her virginity until she was in her thirties, and she had set a personal goal to wait until she won a Grammy before becoming sexually active.
A Late Bloomer’s Bold Confession
On March 31, 2024, the 37‑year‑old artist opened up on the “Friends Keep Secrets” podcast, a show hosted by music producer Benny Blanco and rapper Lil Dicky. In a candid moment, Lizzo admitted that she had been a late bloomer when it came to sex. She confessed that for many years she had lied about her experience, feeling pressure to fit into a narrative that didn’t align with her own timeline.
“I was a late bloomer. I lied about it for a long time,” she said. “Can I just tell you the year? 2020. Isn’t that crazy?” The revelation was both surprising and relatable, as it highlighted how personal milestones can be shaped by external expectations and internal promises.
The Grammy Milestone
What makes Lizzo’s story even more intriguing is the way she tied her personal decision to a professional milestone. In 2020, the singer captured her first three Grammy Awards, a feat that solidified her status as a powerhouse in the music industry. The awards were:
- Best Pop Solo Performance for “Truth Hurts”
- Best Urban Contemporary Album for her third studio album, Cuz I Love You
- Best Traditional R&B Performance for “Jerome”
During the podcast, Lizzo explained that she had promised herself, as a younger version
