“For 90 minutes a night, I have to do choreography, I have to sing, I have to dance, I have to rap and I have to play the flute.
“And I have to emote, and hype a crowd in very tight clothes, sometimes clothes where it restricts my breathing.”
“It’s fun. I love my job. But it takes a lot of physical endurance to do what I do, and I used to be very rockstar lifestyle, used to throw myself around on the stage,” Lizzo added.
“As I got more professional in my career, I started to take the physical part more seriously.”
