Both James Corden and Lizzo On Carpool Karaoke, cover Beyoncé’s Crazy in Love and learn a TikTok routine

Lizzo may have her own successes, but she’s exactly like the rest of the world when it comes to bowing down to Beyonce. For a round of Carpool Karaoke on Monday’s edition of The Late Late Show, the 34-year-old singer joined 43-year-old James Corden, and the two sang Beyoncé‘s “Crazy in Love.” It was disclosed that Lizzo’s favorite flute is called “Sasha Floot” after the singer’s alter persona, Sasha Fierce. “I would listen to Beyoncé in my room and it would transfer me when I was shyer when I didn’t think I was cool, and when I was getting picked on,” she told Corden. “I’d feel something, I’d feel like things were going to become better in my life.” “I still have hope,” you say.

There were several other performances during the episode, including Lizzo and Corden belting out the popular TikTok dance for her current track, “About Damn Time,” and for her previous singles “Good as Hell,” “Juice,” “Truth Hurts,” and “Special.” Lizzo enlisted the services of a bunch of dancers, including TikTok sensation Jaeden Gomez, to teach Corden the moves.

That’s exactly what I mean. As soon as people heard “Lizzo, Liszo,” I changed the Ss to Zs and the rest is history. “Liszo, Liszo,” everyone would say. Her fourth album, Special, will be released on July 15, and she is now prepping for the release.

As though we’re perpetually in a humanitarian catastrophe, like a worldwide epidemic or systemic racism or the prohibitions that politicians place on our bodies. ‘ Also, for someone who’s been given a brave award, the world may be incredibly frightening.
