Lizzo Celebrates 6 Months On Vegan Diet With Self-Love Message

Lizzo loves herself at all stages of her life— and she wants her fans to do the same. The 32-year-old singer posted a TikTok on Tuesday composed of various clips of her throughout her venture into veganism, in which she reflects on her journey. The viral TikTok opens up with a clip of Lizzo in March, dumping pieces of pound cake and other assorted foods into a blender, followed by a clip of her present-day, making a vegan protein shake, demonstrating the stark changes she has made in her diet since the start of quarantine. 

“Hey so I found this video of me from the beginning of quarantine making what looks like a stale donut, pound cake, milkshake type concoction,” narrates Lizzo, “This is from a whirlwind tour and year, and after being seven years vegetarian, going back to eating all animal products,”

Quarantine marked the end of many people’s diets, and Lizzo was no exception. With gyms having closed, adjusting to working from home, and endless uncertainty engulfing the world, healthy eating took a backseat while people shifted their focus elsewhere. Contrasting from the inspiration porn that tends to overtake social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok during times of universal hardship, Lizzo’s message is not that she’s “happier” when she’s eating mindfully, but rather that she is happiest when she does what feels right and natural to her, which, as it currently stands, is veganism.

“Honestly, I am both of these women and I cannot condemn one woman or the other. I’m happy both ways and right now, this is what’s bringing me joy,” Lizzo continues, “This is me at the beginning of quarantine, happy, loving myself, dancing. And, you know what? I’m still that happy girl, loving myself and loving my body.

Lizzo’s message enforces her belief that the pursuit of self-betterment should not be done for the approval of anyone other than oneself, and she ends her video by telling viewers “Love yourself at all stages in your life because you are who you are.”

François Marius and Bérénice creates a tender acoustic pop confession with “Billie Jean”

François Marius

François Marius’ latest release, “Billie Jean (Acoustic Version),” cuts to the quick and lets raw emotion take over. What you get, ultimately, is a personal pop experience that feels closer to a secret than to either a spoken-word show or a performance. The initial soft strum of an acoustic guitar creates a mood that is soft, sweet, and quietly interesting. It’s a full-throated, backbones-out piece, and every note is screaming its potential. It’s simple but riveting, and it proves that sometimes less is more.

François Marius and Bérénice’s voices sound right together, their voicings intermingle so naturally that they seem accidental or spontaneous, harmonies that emerge from nowhere. The way they speak to one another is very, I mean, they really love each other. That even makes the track seem like a conversation about feelings.

The two artists are clearly close. Romance and Eros are not just ideas, and they inhabit every note that lingers and every minuscule shift in tonality. The harmonies soar effortlessly over the acoustic foundation, a blend of sweetness and strength. It’s a sign of strength and also of a willingness to be hurt.

“Billie Jean (Acoustic Version)” is stripped of any fancy production or theatrical effects, it wins you over with its frankness and forthrightness. Sandy François Marius’s impersonation is fresh and real, endowed with depth and softness thanks to Bérénice’s presence, which definitely makes everything more perfect. This acoustic performance serves as a stark reminder of the elements that do connect people: the singer, his guitar, and a story from the heart.
