Lizzo showed some love to Taylor Swift during her tour opener in Australia on Friday (July 14).
While chatting to the crowd at Perth’s RAC Arena, the ‘About Damn Time’ singer spotted a concert-goer holding up a sign that read, ‘I Chose You Over Taylor Swift (Heart) Can I Get a Hug.’ Before addressing the flattering message, Lizzo thanked fans for attending the performance.
“First of all, I’m going to say thank you for coming to my show,” the pop-rap star said called. “I know that tickets for all concerts are expensive, so it means a lot to me that you are here.”
She added, “Taylor Swift is great too. And you don’t have to choose, because I’ll get you tickets to Taylor Swift! I’m just kidding.”
Lizzo then asked the audience if Swift – who is currently touring North American stadiums on her “The Eras Tour” – has already toured Australia.
“Has she played yet? When is she coming here? Lizzo asked before joking, “How do you choose me over Taylor?”
The singer-rapper then signed the sign and commented, “I love TayTay too…there’s no competition here.”
In late June, Lizzo received backlash from Swifties after making comments during an Instagram Live. “Today’s most popular person doesn’t even compare to what Beyoncé does,” Lizzo said called.
Many of Swift’s fans believed her words were aimed at the pop superstar, who is currently dominating the Billboard charts with her newly recorded album Speak Now and record-breaking Eras Tour.
