Of all the celebs on TikTok, Lizzo is arguably one of the best in terms of having fun engageing with the community — and today may have been one of her best videos yet. The hyper-talented singer, dancer, rapper, songwriter, and flutist shared a duet with hula hooping pro Deven Zimmer (aka @call_me_alaska [4] on TikTok) that will honestly make your day. Zimmer originally shared a hula hoop dance video [5] to a mix of Lizzo's "About Damn Time" [6] — a creative riff on the TikTok dance challenge [7] to the same song — with the comment, "If @lizzo [8] doesn't see this ima be so pressed."
Well, she more than saw it. Lizzo posted a video of her own, attempting to recreate Zimmer's hula hoop moves, duetted with the original. The caption? "Be careful what y'all ask for." The choreography may be done in her own style, but regardless, Lizzo nailed it, swinging the hoop around her arms, up her legs, and over her head. (Her serious face is what really brings it home, though.)
Both Zimmer and other Lizzo fans on TikTok were understandably hyped. Zimmer commented on Lizzo's video with "LIZZOO I AM SCREAMING THANK YOU SO SO MUCH," and another commenter even said, "Bring her on tour Lizzo!!" Which, YES. Zimmer also shared the moment on Instagram [9] with the comment, "SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!!! We got @lizzobeeating [10] HOOPING! I cannot believe she duetted me. If you need me I will be jumping up and down screaming in my room for the next 3 days, thank you." And she really means it: "100 percent, had to make sure I was jumping up and down in my dreams, too," Zimmer told POPSUGAR.
We've been absolutely impressed with Zimmer's hooping videos [11] before, but seeing Lizzo trying these tricky dance moves with a hoop makes us realise just how hard it is — and how much we love Lizzo.
