Yet another challenge Lizzo faced as a 21-year-old: homelessness. After her family moved to Denver, Lizzo stayed by herself in Houston, where she tried to make it with a rock band and either crashed at friends' places or slept in her car. Despite this, she still considers herself privileged during this tough time. ". . . when it was actually happening to me, I didn't think of myself as homeless," she confessed to NPR during a July 2019 interview, later adding, "I think that I had a luxury and a privilege to be able to sleep on the floor of my drummer's house, to be able to sleep in a car my sister gave me, to be able to sleep at the studio where my rock band performed, to be able to sneak into 24 Hour Fitness and use the showers there."
