Lizzo Failing at Making Dalgona Coffee Is the Most Relatable Thing a Celeb Has Done in Quarantine


Lizzo can win Grammys, play the flute, rap, help you find the will to live, and create a national stir just by standing up at a basketball game.

But she cannot make Fancy Internet Coffee by hand, and in this sense, she is just like all of us.

You know Fluffy Online Dessert Coffee, perhaps by its legal name: Dalgona coffee. It’s the handmade Korean trend that has become an international sensation during quarantine. Caffeine-fiends and cool teens looking for a way to get non-boring coffee while staying at home developed this three-ingredient, whipped instant coffee, which you can make at home, following an easy recipe.

When you were young and full of hope and hadn’t added hot water yet.

That is…if you have an electric mixer, you can easily make it at home. If you only have a whisk—or, God forbid, a spoon—it’s not so easy. Stirring by hand just isn’t an efficient way to whip air into liquid (that’s why most people buy butter, instead of churning it from heavy cream). You can make Dalgona coffee with a spoon or whisk, but only in the same way you can, technically, knit a tablecloth; it’s a fun activity if you’re in the mood, but time and space will likely lose all sense of meaning for you while you’re doing it. However, if you succeed you will feel like a pioneer queen and will instantly be vaulted into the next level of the quarantine simulation: i.e. baking your own bread. (Next thing you know, you’ll be whittling.)

Take it from Lizzo, who in a just world would win an Oscar for Best Short Film for the video masterpiece in which she attempts Dalgona coffee. Captioned “Shit don’t work,” this TikTok has everything: scenic shots, a musical number, smash cuts, comedy, tragedy, and a twist ending worthy of M. Night Shyamalan.

You can watch her attempt here.

Lizzo, consider a hand mixer. And for anyone else planning to tough it out making hand-whipped Dalgona, your best bet is to switch mixing hands regularly (so you can get evenly ripped) and cue up a TV show or movie, cause you’re in for the long haul. If you stream Hustlers when you start mixing, you’ll have a perfect cup of coffee by the time Lizzo starts dancing with Usher. Probably.

You Have to Watch Lizzo and Harry Styles Perform ‘Juice’ Together


The world can be a pretty grim place these days, but then you see a video of Lizzo and Harry Styles performing together and everything looks a little brighter.

Lizzo and Styles surprised fans when she brought out the “Lights Out” singer during a SiriusXM and Pandora concert in Miami ahead of this weekend’s Super Bowl. Their performance of Lizzo’s hit “Juice” was as amazing as you could hope. Not only did they sound great, but Styles even managed to bust out some of Lizzo’s iconic choreo. (Not to mention, Styles was wearing a fantastic sweater that I’d like to steal for my closet immediately.)

Fans on Twitter were very pleased with the unexpected duet. “Harry Styles performing Juice with Lizzo is a thing I didn’t know I really, really needed,” one penned. “Thought @lizzo’s show couldn’t get any better.. and then she brought out @Harry_Styles!! ?? Good as hell!” another wrote.

This isn’t the first time the former One Directioner has performed “Juice.” He also sang a cover of the mega hit last December during a BBC radio appearance.

Kelly Clarkson also famously covered the song during her “Kellyoke” segment on The Kelly Clarkson Show back in October.

Meanwhile, Lizzo is showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Last weekend, she opened the Grammys with a tribute to NBA star Kobe Bryant, who had died earlier that day. “Tonight is for Kobe,” she said before launching into an emotional rendition of “Cuz I Love You,” followed by “Truth Hurts.” She also took home two Grammys for Best Urban Contemporary Album and Best Urban Contemporary Album for Cuz I Love You (Deluxe), even though she lost out to Billie Eilish for the night’s big four categories like Song of the Year and Record of the Year.

But sharing the stage with Harry Styles must have made it all a little better, right?

Lizzo Says She’s Leaving Twitter: ‘Too Many Trolls’


Lizzo is extremely committed to doing exactly what makes her feel good as hell, whether that’s twerking in a thong at a Lakers game or belting out her hits in front of a giant inflatable butt at the VMAs. But this attitude extends to her mental health and self-love journeys as well, and she’s been honest when she needs to take time to focus on herself and her feelings. This week she made an important decision to do exactly that by logging off Twitter for a while.

Her message to her fans was quick and to the point: “Yeah I can’t do this Twitter s**t no more.. too many trolls. I’ll be back when I feel like it.” She didn’t go into detail about what exactly prompted the decision, but CNN reports she’s been on the receiving end of abuse from trolls recently related to her weight. Even her tweet was met with a slew of disturbing and offensive responses.

Plenty of fans jumped to her defense and let her know she had their love and encouragement. “Please know for every troll, there are so many genuine fans here to show love and support,” one fan wrote. “We’ve got your back QUEEN! Hope you come back to us soon!”

The news comes just as Lizzo made history as the first solo female artist to headline Bonnaroo. Despite the trolls, the “Tempo” rapper keeps winning and making strides in her career, all the while working to change beauty norms in pop culture.

“Let’s just make space for these women,” she told Glamour last year. “Make space for me. Make space for this generation of artists who are really fearless in self-love. They’re out here. They want to be free. I think allowing that space to be made is really what’s going to shift the narrative in the future. Let’s stop talking about it and make more space for people who are about it.”

Lizzo Shuts Down 'SNL' With Performances of 'Truth Hurts' and 'Good as Hell'


Lizzo made her debut on Saturday Night Live on December 21, and it left the entire Internet feeling good as hell.

For the show’s midseason finale—which also featured comedian Eddie Murphy hosting the NBC series for the first time in 35 years—the singer took the stage to first perform her chart-topping hit, “Truth Hurts”. The inspiring and energetic performance showed off her impressive vocals, but the Internet couldn’t help also obsessing over her outfit: a custom-made creation by black designer Dapper Dan.

The Dapper Dan x Gucci button-down trench coat featured a matching bralette and boots. And as Buzzfeed notes, Lizzo also had an all-black and all-female band performing alongside her, who also repped the designer in custom Gucci jumpsuits.

Check out Lizzo’s SNL performance for yourself, below:

For her second performance, the singer transformed the stage into a winter wonderland complete with candy cane poles and gift-wrapped backup dancers to sing “Good as Hell.” As for Lizzo’s outfit, she brought her A-game once again, wearing a formal black tuxedo ensemble.

Lizzo Welcomes You to Keep Talking About Her Butt


At a recent Lakers game, Lizzo got up and started dancing to her song “Juice” while wearing an outfit that just so happened to reveal her thong. The whole incident quickly turned into the twerk that launched a thousand tweets. Some people blasted her for showing what they decided was way too much skin. Even more people came to her defense, pointing out that the trolling is yet another example of society’s fat phobia.

But Lizzo being Lizzo, she hasn’t seemed too fazed by the discussion. She posted an Instagram video shortly after the incident reminding everyone that she doesn’t care about haters—”Bitch, you really think that because somebody on Twitter think that I’m not cute I’m gonna stop existing?”—and then, during a CBS This Morning appearance on Thursday, December 12, she doubled down on her message. “You know how long it took me to fall in love with this body?” she said. “My butt was my least favorite thing about myself, and I learned to love it and that was the thing everybody can’t stop talking about.”

This isn’t the first time Lizzo has addressed her trolls with the perfect response. When one mean tweeter wrote, “Bus passes and Happy Meals. Two things that I imagine #Lizzo has seen a lot,” the singer took it in stride, responding with, “Yeah, I’m a big bitch, and I ride a bus. A tour bus, motherfucker. Where’s yours?”

She also gave a little more context to how the whole dancing incident happened in the first place—and shared that for the record that, yes, she did have “on layers down there, so it wasn’t just flesh to seats.”

“I think no one would have ever saw what I was wearing, like the back of it, if I didn’t get up and dance,” she said. “The Laker girls came up to me and said, ‘We’re so excited that you’re here, we want to perform one of your songs for you.’ And I remember I was sitting there and I was with my manager and my friend and they were like, ‘You should get up and dance, they’re doing this for you,’ and I was like, ‘Alright.’ ” She continued, “So I got up and just did what I always do. Anyone who knows me knows this is how I’ve always been, this is how I’ve always liked to dress.”

The recent Grammy-nominated artist’s final take on the whole thing was in line with her consistent message of positivity and self-love: “Be you. Do you. Don’t ever let anybody steal your joy, especially not the Internet.”

Lizzo Is Time's Entertainer Of The Year


Lizzo was named Time Magazine’s Entertainer of the Year on Wednesday.

Do we even need to ask how she’s feelin’?

In the same news cycle that featured the 31-year-old singer twerking in a thong at a Lakers game and releasing a music video that literally trumpets black excellence, Lizzo earned a top spot in Time’s annual Person of the Year rankings.

Her cover image, shot by Paola Kudacki, is instantly iconic. It’s Lizzo in her truest form which I like to think is part disco ball and part deity. Her voluminous, sparkling Mary Katrantzou gown (or may we respectfully call it by its true name, sack of pure glamour?) evokes the globe, wholeness, oneness, eternity! Her arms are in the gesture Eva Peron would do if she took up yoga. Her pointed kitten heel has been flicked off, like Lizzo is Cinderella and we’re all a bunch of Prince Charming’s in hot pursuit.

The accompanying article about her, by essayist Samantha Irby, is filled with the instant-jolt-of-empowerment quotes Lizzo has a genius for tossing off. “I think it’s healthy to have a relationship with your naked body, even if no one ever sees it,” she says. “But I’ve always felt the need to share it.” In the piece, she talks about the vulnerability of experiencing fame in an especially highly scrutinized body. “I need to fall back in love with my body,” she proclaims, before adding, re: fame, “I just want to go to the farmer’s market.”

We will go to the farmer’s market with you, Lizzo. We will fetch you organic beeswax candles and fend off rabid fans with bundles of fresh leeks. We will carry your reusable tote bag.

She also tries to answer the question we’ve all been asking our therapists—where has Lizzo been all our lives? Why did she seem to appear out of nowhere, when she clearly has the star power of a major celebrity? Who has been keeping her from us?
