Lizzo Earns Rihanna Ovation for Wedding-Themed ‘Truth Hurts’ at BET Awards

Lizzo stole the show at the 2019 BET Awards, performing “Truth Hurts” in a charming, wedding-themed display that evoked the video for her piano-driven 2017 single.

The singer-rapper appeared in white atop a giant wedding cake, surrounded by dancers with bouquets of flowers in hand. She  brought the crowd to its feet with her charismatic skills: rapping, singing, dancing and even breaking out into one of her trademark flute solos. (The cameras caught Rihanna giving Lizzo an enthusiastic ovation for the latter moment.)

Lizzo recently performed on another another televised event, the MTV Movie & TV Awards, presenting “Juice” from her 2019 LP, Cuz I Love You. In May, she joined Charli XCX on her single “Blame It On Your Love,” a remix of “Track 10” from the vocalist’s 2017 mixtape Pop 2.

Lizzo recently extended her North American tour promoting Cuz I Love You. After a run of summer dates, including several festival slots, the fall leg launches September 7th in New Orleans and wraps October 27th in San Francisco.
