Lizzoisn’t against a little PDA — she encourages it!
During an appearance onWatch What Happens Live with Andy Cohenon Monday, the singer and the host played a game based off her hit song called “About Damn Time or Don’t Waste My Time.” At one point in the segment, Lizzo gave her take onKourtney KardashianandTravis Barker’s notorious PDA.
“Ooh, let me get in the middle of that,” the singer, 34, responded immediately. “I sat next to them at the Met Gala and I fully enjoyed it, so, it’s ‘About Damn Time’ they call me…” The couple is oftenphotographed in the moment— though after an internet troll criticized Barker, 46, for it on his Instagram account in April,the Blink-182 drummer clapped back.
Throughout the segment, Lizzo gave her stamp of approval to a number of situations likeAdele’s first public concert in five years, her song “About Damn Time” becoming a TikTok sensation, Ketanji Brown Jacksonbecoming the first Black female to serve as a justice on the Supreme Courtand more.

A few situations did get the diss, however, like the controversy over whetherKim Kardashianripped Marilyn Monroe’s dress after wearing it to the Met Gala. “Ugh, don’t waste my time,” she said. “There’s people dying, Kim.”
Lizzo’s appearance on the talk show comes after she released her third and highly anticipated studio albumSpecialon Friday.
Ahead ofSpecial’s release, the “Truth Hurts” singer appeared onZane Loweon Apple Music 1 and saidshe “loves” the album.
“I’m just proud of how patient I was with myself and with my art. And I took the time to write the songs that need to come out, the stories that I wanted to share, that people should hear,” she said last week.
Next, Lizzo is set tokick off The Special Tourthrough North America beginning in September.
Aside from her music, Lizzoreceived six Emmy nominations last weekfor her Prime Video seriesWatch Out for the Big Grrrls.

Lizzo then expressed more serious gratitude for the honor. “I just wanted to process it because I’m so bad at processing my emotions in real-time. I was working on all these posts because it’s album week, so I’m droppingSpecialthis week, and you know, I’m doing all this work,” the “Rumors” singer said. “So when I got the call, I was like, ‘No, I’m not ready to process this.’ And I’ve kind of just been in shock for the last couple of hours.”
“But I wanted to say that when we made this show, we were not thinking about nominations, accolades, awards. We already won a Critic’s Choice Award, which is incredible and more than we could’ve ever imagined, and really, I was just trying to find some dancers,” she added. She then went on to praise the dancers on her show.
