Lizzo's Acceptance Speech at the 2022 Emmys

Lizzo Honours Women "Fat Like Me, Black Like Me, Beautiful Like Me" in Epic Acceptance Speech

Lizzo is now an Emmy winner! After taking home two awards (outstanding directing for a reality program, outstanding picture editing for a structured reality or competition program) at the Creative Arts Emmys on 3 Sept., the 34-year-old singer's Amazon Prime show "Lizzo's Watch Out For The Big Grrrls" snagged the trophy for outstanding competition program at the 2022 Emmys on 12 Sept.

"When I was a little girl, all I wanted to see was me in the media. Someone fat like me, Black like me, beautiful like me," an emotional Lizzo began her acceptance speech. "If I can go back and tell little Lizzo something, I'd be like, 'You going to see that person, but b*tch it's gonna have to be you.'"

She continued, "One year ago, these women were filming this television show that would change their lives forever. They're Emmy Award-winning superstars who are going on a world tour."
