Lizzo Give Passionate Speech After Winning Outstanding Competition Program Emmy: ‘This Is For The Big Girls’

Lizzo just picked up her first Emmy!

The 34-year-old singer won the Outstanding Competition Program honor for Watch Out for the Big Grrrls, and following her win, gave a passionate speech about what the win really means.

“The trophy is nice, but my emotion is for these people who are on the stage with me,” she said, speaking of the dancers who were on the program that were on stage with her. “The stories that they shared, they’re not that unique. They just don’t get told. Let’s just tell more stories.”

Lizzo went on, saying that “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 would be like, ‘You’re going to see that person, but b****, it’s going to have to be you.'”

“One year ago, these women were filming this television show that would change their lives forever. They are Emmy award-winning superstars who are going on a world tour! Make some noise for my Big Grrrls. I love you so much. God bless y’all. This is for the big girls.”

FYI: Lizzo wore a red tulle Giambattista Valli gown with Lorraine Schwartz jewelry.
