This is a “dream come true” for Lizzo and she can’t wait to “share [her] vision with the world,” she said in a statement.

Fans are loving the news on social media and beyond excited to see what Lizzo will share.

Lizzo will join Viola Davis, Rachel Brosnahan, Daniel Dae Kim, Brad Pitt, and other creators at Amazon. Her phenomenal achievements she earned through her music along with her perspective on life will give her an edge on the innovative process. Aside from her musical career, Lizzo has already cracked open the door to acting. She was featured in the crime and comedic film Hustlers in 2019, playing the supporting role of Liz. That same year, she also had a voice role in the animated film UglyDolls, which included many other famous voices like Kelly Clarkston, Nick Jonas, Wanda Sykes, and Janelle Monáe.
