Lizzo just took her admiration for BTS to a whole new level by covering the band's latest hit "Butter" on BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge on 23 Sept. (Coincidentally, BTS impressed us with their own Live Lounge performance [1] just a few months ago.) "I'm singing it around the house anyway, why not sing it on the live lounge," Lizzo told BBC Radio 1 presenter Charlie Hedges, ahead of her performance. "I'm a sucker for people who make positive music, and BTS does that. The word is falling in love with them because they are so sweet and pure, and they're good-hearted," she added. "I wanted to bring some more positivity into the world via their song. I hope we do it justice." And do it justice Lizzo absolutely did.
During her time in the Live Lounge, Lizzo also sang her latest track "Rumors" [2] and brought Sasha Flute [3] along for the ride — all in all, making it one incredible Live Lounge performance.
The full video drops this evening, but in the meantime, catch the audio of her Live Lounge here. [4]
"Everyone loves @BTS_twt [5] because they're so pure and kind hearted - I hope I do 'Butter' justice!"
Mission accomplished, @Lizzo [6] 👏👏👏 pic.twitter.com/KyEGE3c9kn [7]— BBC Radio 1 (@BBCR1) September 23, 2021 [8]
