A prime example that your time can come at any moment. Lizzo had been grinding for years. Suddenly out of the blue one of her songs turns into a hit and her life changes overnight. This for everyone out there chasing something. I see y'all.

This was a brilliant performance by Lizzo. I love the NPR Tiny Desk concerts, but wish they would include more crowd shots (like this one). The fans dig these shows so much, it's great to see a shot or two of them getting into it.

Lizzo knows how to work a crowd. Great tiny desk concert. Tiny tiny tiny ass desk.

I came into this video having never heard of her. At the beginning I found myself thinking, "Well this is not my usual thing, but I can dig it." - A minute or so in I found myself really falling in love with the sincerity, her personality and earnest performance, not to mention just the overall great quality. Towards the end I was totally sold on it, but when she whipped out that flute I was just blown away! What an awesome surprise! And her philosophy was wonderful too. I really commend NPR for continuing to shine the spotlight on musicians so worth discovering.

[@AM-AnitaM]

That’s how we all fell in love with Lizzo! She crosses genre! Her energy my God!

[@taylorkelley8561]

The music being straight from the band with no ability to do electric add-ins made the songs absolutley fantastic. The flute solo was unexpected, insane and awesome. Great job everyone involved.

You know this performance was amazing when Tiny Desk shows the audience. It's so rare to see the audience!
