Lizzo [1] wants everyone to recognise the significance of Lil Nas X's very existence in the pop space. "Do people realise what's happening? I have never seen anything like this in my entire life," the singer said during a recent interview with Andy Cohen on SiriusXM. Though the two artists have yet to collaborate professionally, they have been seen mingling at many award shows [2] in the past.

"It is incredible for a pop star to be openly gay, and to perform in the same time where everything is hypersexualised, to have permission to be hypersexualised himself," Lizzo [3] continued. "I think it's the most empowering, it's the coolest thing ever, and I love pissing people off, and he's pissing people off." Lizzo's praise in the SiriusXM interview precedes the release of Lil Nas X's long-awaited debut album [4], Montero, on 12 Sept. Watch the sweet interview snippet above.
