Lizzo will perform at 2020 RodeoHouston, taking the stage March 13th at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
Lizzo’s performance will take place on Black Heritage Day at the rodeo, and will be her first time performing at the annual event. Tickets for her show go on sale Thursday.
Raised in Houston, Lizzo attended Alief Elsik High School and the University of Houston. She played in the band at both schools and has talked about the city’s influence on her love of music.
RodeoHouston runs from March 3-22. Willie Nelson, Becky G, Maren Morris, Chris Young and NCT 127 are among the other acts slated to perform. NCT 127 will become the first K-pop group to perform at the rodeo.
Meanwhile, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos apparently hung out with Lizzo in Miami to watch Super Bowl LIV on Sunday night. Bezos posted a photo to Twitter posing alongside Lizzo, along with the caption: “I just took a DNA test, turns out I’m 100% @lizzo’s biggest fan.”
The caption refers to Lizzo’s lyric “I just took a DNA test, turns out I’m 100 percent that b****” in her song “Truth Hurts.” The lyric has been turned into a meme and the second half of the sentence is typically changed to make a joke. But Twitter users turned Bezos’ joke against him and called the Amazon CEO out on the company not paying taxes and the allegedly poor working conditions of Amazon employees.
