The case being she more than adequately has a presence which speaks for itself. What a big honour to headline the <strong>Ticketmaster<\/strong> event at <strong>Stubbs BBQ at SXSW<\/strong>. This was a monumental and special show. Everyone is talking about it. Nonetheless, there was a lot of buzz building around this performance probably due to the massive appreciation &#8220;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/eqmusicblog.com\/watch-juice-lizzo\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Juice<\/a><\/strong>&#8221; has received. If you didn&#8217;t make it inside Stubbs for this one show above all others, then you were sure to be left weeping into a dish of spicy tacos by way of consolation instead.<\/p>\n<p>For someone who grew up in Texas, SXSW is home turf for Lizzo. She has made appearances at the festival previously but this time around there was no shadow of a doubt &#8211; Lizzo was about to become the breakout star of the event. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UF2jm_ZIzGA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>She dressed patriotically for the occasion in a cowgirl hat, tasselled jacket and star-spangled panties. Without a seconds thought, the audience ate it all up. The unabashed badassness, the twerking, the commanding vocal performance and the confidently-aware bold lyrics, was devoured by the Austin crowd. Lizzo is indeed the pop star\/spokesperson we not only NEED, but we WANT!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Diary date:<\/strong> Long-awaited full-length album &#8220;<strong>Cuz I Love You<\/strong>&#8221; is available <strong>April 19th<\/strong> and includes the fiercely intoxicating <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/eqmusicblog.com\/listen-tempo-lizzo-ft-missy-elliott\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Missy Elliott collab &#8220;Tempo&#8221;<\/a><\/strong> which our New Music Editor, Mandy shared her thoughts about just the other day&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>TRUTH!
