Stevie Nicks has penned a touching letter to Lizzo applauding her for her recent People’s Choice Awards speech.
During Tuesday (6 December) night’s event, Lizzo won Song of the Year with her hit “About Damn Time”, and she also received the honourary People’s Champion Award for using her platform to fight important social causes.
After being presented the honour by her mother, Shari Johnson-Jefferson, the “Truth Hurts” singer began her acceptance speech admitting she was initially sceptical about “accepting” the award.
“Because if I’m the people’s champ, I don’t need a trophy for championing people,” Lizzo explained. “Ever since the beginning of my career, I’ve used my platform to amplify marginalised voices.”
She then welcomed to the stage “activists and people that I think deserve this spotlight”, introducing each and every person by name, along with a short explanation of how they’re bringing change to their communities.
