In 2019, Lizzo emerged as one of the most impactful voices of the year, famously declaring she’s “100 percent that girl.” But she also took a moment to remind us all that every journey has a starting point. If you look back at her incredible transformation, you’ll see Lizzo once stood on a street corner, spinning signs for Liberty Tax.
In case you missed it, Lizzo made her spectacular debut on Saturday Night Live, where she served as the musical guest. True to her vibrant style, she was nothing short of amazing, leaving us all wondering if she didn’t just materialize from some divine musical source.
Recently, Lizzo delivered a motivational message through social media that felt like a pep talk from the life coach we all need. She posted a side-by-side comparison of two photos: one from her days as a sign spinner and the other from her SNL performance. “On the left was when I worked for Liberty Tax, as a sign spinner,” she wrote. “On the right is my @nbcsnl debut. Don’t stop.. we need you. Your time is coming.” Her caption reinforced her message, urging, “2020 is yours for the taking.”
Interestingly, Lizzo’s outfits in both photos share a theme. She donned a Lady Liberty costume while spinning signs, and in her SNL promo, she sported a sleek black dress that offered a modern twist on the Statue of Liberty—definitely a full-circle moment.
Lizzo’s post struck a chord with many, including rising model and body positivity advocate, Mia, who expressed her gratitude in the comments. “You’re making me emotional! I needed to see this to remind me that hard work pays off and talent shines through in the end. I’m feeling hopeful because of you,” she shared. Others echoed her sentiment, with singer Tessa noting, “Lizzo deserves every bit of her success. She has put in the effort for a long time, and this is no overnight sensation. It’s all about hard work!”
It’s hard not to feel inspired by Lizzo’s journey as we approach the new year. She has put in the effort, stayed humble, and has soundtracked our lives along the way. With her encouragement, we’re ready to strut into 2020 with confidence and flair.
