Opening up with "Heaven Help Me", Lizzo was quickly joined by her dancers who were, of course, in badass Lizzo style, all women of different body types and mostly women of colour. Lizzo has always been upfront with the fact that her music is made to centre and uplift black women, cis and non-cis gendered.

"This music is medicine and I'm trying to get it to my sisters. It's so exciting to me to finally be at a level where I have exposure to my Black sisters, my big sisters, my Black trans sisters," she said in a profile by Essence Magazine. "It's not about being poppin', it's not about being famous or fashion — it's about being better and making sure that this world can hear us and respect us."
