In the name of good hair, Lizzo [3]'s beauty team demonstrated some Herculean strength during a behind-the-scenes clip from her new "Rumors" music video featuring Cardi B [4]. Dressed like a goddess of style and lightning [5], the "Good as Hell" singer exited her trailer followed by five assistants who were tasked with carrying all 43 and a half feet of her braids, styled by hairstylist Shelby Swain [6], for the shoot.
"BIG SHOUT OUT TO THE 43 AND A HALF FOOT BRAIDS I HAD IN 'RUMORS'— LITERALLY THE LONGEST BRAIDS IN THE WORLD ASK @guinnessworldrecords !!!!" she captioned a video on Instagram showing the magnificent moment. While there's no confirmation on the Guinness World Records website that Lizzo [7] has the longest braids, the record for longest handmade textile braid [8] is 5,217 feet and five inches, and the record for longest hair growing out of somebody's head [9] is 18 feet and five inches. Still, with hair longer than my apartment is wide, we're willing to bet Lizzo could have the longest braids of any individual person around.
