Lizzo's "Truth Hurts" Goes No. 1, Adding to Her Year of Incredible Accomplishments

Lizzo got 2019 off to a fun start with the premiere of her "Juice" video. Between the fun outfits and inspirational lyrics, she had everyone prepared to take on the new year with high hopes and unwavering confidence.

Was the audience fully prepared for this upbeat performance in January? I think not!

In fact, the emotional video hit YouTube on Valentine's Day — a much-appreciated gift for those who didn't have a significant other to spend the holiday with.

After challenging Will Ferrell to a jazz flute-off — referencing 2004's Anchorman — in November, Ferrell (well, the Twitter account for his character, Ron Burgundy) accepted two months later. In March, Lizzo officially tossed her hat flute in the ring by putting her own flair on the iconic Anchorman flute scene — and it was epic.

Lizzo and Missy Elliott dropped "Tempo" in March, and we haven't been the same since.

Shortly after releasing Cuz I Love You, Lizzo started her tour at a jam-packed concert in San Francisco.

When she said, "BYE B*TCH YOU THINK IM TAKIN OFF THIS @MARCJACOBS COAT," we felt that.

Speaking to Essence for its May issue, Lizzo told the magazine, "I love creating shapes with my body, and I love normalizing the dimples in my butt or the lumps in my thighs or my back fat or my stretch marks. I love normalizing my Black-ass elbows. I think it's beautiful."

Not only did Lizzo look gorgeous on the red carpet at the June event, but her Sister Act-inspired performance left viewers in complete awe.

Lizzo even got a standing ovation from Rihanna after she nailed a staging of "Truth Hurts" at the BET Awards in June. And that flute solo? Chills.

Lizzo will star alongside Jennifer Lopez, Constance Wu, Lili Reinhart, Cardi B, Keke Palmer, and other big-name celebrities in the stripper saga Hustlers, which will hit theaters on Sept. 13. Lizzo first teased her flute-playing character, Liz, back in July.

July saw the release of Lizzo and Missy Elliott's "Tempo" music video, and we dare you to get through it without twerking.

In July, Lizzo also took over NPR's Tiny Desk Concert series with live renditions of "Cuz I Love You," "Truth Hurts," and "Juice," giving listeners major goosebumps.

Lizzo's August Instagram video of her playing the Ying Yang Twins' "Bounce That A**" on the flute while Megan Thee Stallion twerks is a moment for the culture — now and forevermore.

Aside from glowing on the red carpet in a beautiful Moschino dress and having a bedazzled bottle of tequila, Lizzo stunned at the MTV VMAs in August with a powerful performance of "Good as Hell" and "Truth Hurts." Amid the staging, she took time to speak to the audience and encourage viewers. "I'm tired of the bullsh*t, and I don't have to know your story to know that you're tired of the bullsh*t too," she said. "It's so hard trying to love yourself in a world that doesn't love you back, am I right? So I want to take this opportunity right now to just feel good as hell! Because you deserve to feel good as hell!"

In September, Lizzo performed at JAY-Z's Made in America music festival in Philadelphia where Beyoncé watched on the sideline. If you have Queen Bey's support, you're pretty much set for life.

Lizzo celebrated her first-ever No. 1 as "Truth Hurts" reached the very top of Billboard's Hot 100 chart in September. Her achievement also made her the first black woman to hit No. 1 in 2019. "WE DID IT LIZZBIANS," she tweeted.
