Lizzo spoke candidly about self-care and how she doesn't promote a "commercialised" version of it. "I feel a responsibility as a pioneer in this wave of body positivity to push the narrative further," she told NPR in June. "I'm not even gonna get into it, but they're just saying, like, 'self-care is all facials and mimosas,' and there are people using the term 'body positivity' but still posting, like, really gorgeous glamour shots. And I get it. That's fine. Everyone deserves to speak on it, everyone deserves to have ownership of their body positivity. But I'm not just gonna settle for that anymore. I think that there's something to emotions and vulnerability and expressing those emotions in a more vulnerable way to yourself that I think we haven't tapped into."
