Lizzo is officially halfway to EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony) status after last night's Emmys.
The musician scooped her first Emmy for her series 'Watch Out For The Big Grrrls', which was a reality series that followed full-figured women competing to be her backup dancers.
It premiered on Amazon Prime in March and has gone down well with audiences who have praised its messages of empowerment and inclusivity, no matter what your body type is. It also ended 'Ru Paul's Drag Race' four-year streak in the same Emmys category.
During an emotional acceptance speech in the Outstanding Competition Program category, the plainspoken singer cited how important it was to see women like her in music and on TV screens. "The trophy is nice, but my emotion is for these people who are on the stage with me. The stories that they shared are not that unique that just don’t get the platform. Let’s tell more stories,” she said. "When I was a little girl, all I wanted to see was me in the media. Someone fat like me, black like me, beautiful like me. If I could go back and tell little Lizzo something, I’d be like, ‘You gonna see that person, but bitch, it’s gonna have to be you.'"
