Lizzo
“Truth Hurts” hitmaker Lizzo shared an emotional video on Instagram where she opened up about how much the result of the elections meant to her.
“There are a few times in this country, where I’m hopeful. Like every time I’m hopeful it gets taken away from me. And this time I was hopeful, and I was scared,” she said with tears running down her cheeks.
“And I’m so excited to see a black woman in the White House, a brown woman in the White House, and be an American woman in the White House. And I’m so ready to see if America can hold itself accountable. If we can go into a new era where people are listened to, and fundamental changes can happen so that we can all live here, equally.”
