Lizzo steals the show with Paris Hilton, revealing weight loss
The Truth Hurts singer strutted onto Diplo's Honky Tonk stage in a daring, semi-sheer black bodysuit and netted skirt. She showed off her dramatically slimmer figure.
Paris Hilton, ever the showstopper, matched Lizzo's energy in a plunging white bodysuit and sparkling chaps. She also had her trademark blonde hair styled in playful pigtails.
The crowd erupted as Lizzo belted out her smash hit Truth Hurts and her latest single Still Bad, with Paris spinning the decks and hyping the crowd, according to Daily Mail.
'I love it when women support women on stage,' Paris declared, waving a giant pink fan emblazoned with her name.
The chemistry between the two icons was electric, with Paris later posting, 'Playing #Stagecoach2025 was a dream, and @lizzo is my fav #Sliving'.
But it wasn't just the music that had everyone talking. Lizzo's transformation was front and centre.
The 36-year-old star has shed an estimated 27kg (about 60 pounds), dropping roughly 16% of her body fat.
She revealed her secret on TikTok earlier this week: 'I stopped drinking those sugary Starbucks drinks-two or three a day, that's about 1,200 calories gone!'
'I still have something sweet, but it's got to be with some sort of carb. Almond butter and toast is my go-to,' she explained. 'Everybody's body is different. Find out what works for you'. BODY POSITIVITY AND HEALTH
Lizzo's journey hasn't been about fitting into anyone else's standards. 'I have been on an intentional weight release journey,' she said on Jay Shetty's podcast.
'Iwas still very anti-fatphobia on this entire journey, and put it on the internet, but I don't think people were paying attention.
My body has been changing-very slowly-but I'm proud of it.' She added, 'I've learned so much about myself, and I'm not done. This is just the beginning'.
Fans have watched Lizzo's evolution with admiration, she has always championed self-love and body positivity.
As one festivalgoer put it, 'Lizzo's confidence is infectious. She's proof that you can change your body and still love yourself at every stage.'
With Stagecoach streaming live and clips going viral, Lizzo and Paris Hilton's performance is the talk of the music world.
And Lizzo's message? 'Embrace change, but do it for you. That's the real glow-up.'
