During a powerful and heartfelt appearance at the WeHo Pride Festival, Grammy-winning artist Lizzo paid tribute to the LGBTQIA+ community—specifically honoring Black transgender women for their pivotal role in the fight for equality.
“The next song is dedicated to you,” Lizzo told the crowd. “And most importantly, Black trans women…without their fight, we wouldn’t be able to celebrate today.”
She then launched into an emotional performance of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”, the beloved ballad famously sung by Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz (1939). The moment was met with roaring applause and deep emotion from fans in attendance.
Lizzo Celebrates Pride and Calls for Continued Activism
Lizzo also shared a video clip of the performance on her Instagram, pairing it with a passionate caption about the roots of Pride and the ongoing fight for justice and inclusion:
“Happy Pride to the beautiful LGBTQIA+ community. As this month begins let us remember there would be no pride without the Black trans women & trans women of color who fought against the systems that tried to erase them.”
She continued:
“In honor of that fight, we have to continue to take a stand against that very same system that threatens our rights to bodily autonomy and liberation. We ain’t free till we all free. I love you.”
Lizzo’s words struck a chord with fans and activists alike, cementing her as one of the most vocal mainstream artists championing intersectional advocacy during Pride Month.
