AceShowbiz - Lizzo has publicly addressed circulating rumors suggesting she disrespected pop icon Taylor Swift, firmly denying any ill feelings or negative comments directed at the singer.

The controversy escalated when a social media user compared streaming figures between Taylor Swift’s latest album and Lizzo’s upcoming 2025 mixtape My Face Hurts From Smiling. The post highlighted numbers such as “The Life Of A Showgirl + MY FACE HURTS FROM SMILING - 4.005M” versus “ICEMAN + MAID OF HONOUR + HABIBTI - 683k.”

Perplexed by the comparison, Lizzo reposted the message asking for clarification. This led to accusations from other users claiming she had previously spoken negatively about Taylor Swift. In response, Lizzo strongly denied ever insulting the singer or any other artist, emphasizing that merely mentioning a name does not imply disrespect.

She urged critics to mature, asserting she has never talked disparagingly about any fellow artists. This firm rebuttal came after a recent interview where Lizzo discussed her song “B*tch” on Genius Verified, giving credit to Meredith Brooks for inspiring the track. She lightheartedly referenced the trend of “Taylor’s Version” releases by joking about calling her own work “B*tch (Lizzo’s Version).”

In addition to addressing the Taylor Swift rumors, Lizzo has also responded to fans who accused her of imitating Cardi B’s album rollout without acknowledgment. Lizzo clarified that she has openly credited Cardi B’s innovative approach as an inspiration for her own promotional strategy.

This series of clarifications highlights Lizzo’s intent to maintain respectful relationships within the music community, dispelling misunderstandings and affirming her support for fellow artists.
