AceShowbiz - Lizzo is all about love. The "About Damn Time" hitmaker had an epic response to a fan who appeared to pit her against fellow musician Taylor Swift during her tour opener in Australia on Friday, July 14.
While speaking with her crowd at Perth's RAC Arena, Lizzo spotted a concertgoer holding up a sign that read, "I Chose You Over Taylor Swift (Heart) Can I Get a Hug." The "Truth Hurts" singer thanked fans for attending the performance before she addressed the message.
"I'm going to start off by saying thank you for coming to my show," the Grammy winner said. "I know tickets are expensive to everybody's shows, so it means the world to me that you're here."
She went on to say, "Taylor Swift is amazing as well. And you don't have to choose, because I'm going to get you tickets to Taylor Swift! I'm just kidding."
Later, Lizzo asked her fans if the "Cruel Summer" singer, who is currently touring North American stadiums on her "The Eras Tour", had already toured in Australia. "Did she already play? When does she come here? She's not coming here?" Lizzo asked before joking, "How you choose me over Taylor?"
The singer-rapper then autographed the sign before commenting, "I heart TayTay too … there's no competition here."
Fans loved Lizzo's response with one praising her, "Women supporting other women." Someone else echoed the sentiment, saying, "Lizzo always slays, she stays unproblematic and supportive."
Some others criticized the fan for bringing the rude sign. "Ew, I don't know what that person expected bringing that sign to the concert," one person wrote. "That fan was probably broke."
Prior to this, Lizzo received backlash over her shady tweet that many believed was aimed at the "Lover" hitmaker. "The most popular person of today ain't even comparable to what Beyonce is doing," so Lizzo wrote in June. Swifties were convinced that the tweet was about Taylor, who is currently dominating the Billboard charts with her re-recorded "Speak Now" album and breaking records with her "Eras" Tour.
