He wrote in that ruling: “The original force majeure clause was relatively straightforward and favoured the promoter. But WME’s lawyers, he added, had “modified the clause to become more artist-friendly. That change, in context, lends support to the artist’s position here”. Lizzo can keep the $5 million fee she was paid to play the 2020 LA Virgin Fest that never happened because of COVID, a judge has ruled. Indeed, legal papers show, WME’s then co-Head Of Music Marc Geiger told Felts that launching a new festival into that market was basically ‘commercial suicide’.

[Lizzo](https://www.chron.com/culture/article/Watch-Lizzo-hilariously-brave-through-veganized-17354553.php) is now halfway to EGOT, a designation given to people who have won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony. As of 2022, only 17 people have accomplished the feat, including stars [John Legend](https://www.chron.com/politics/article/Ted-Cruz-John-Legend-Twitter-17088849.php) and Jennifer Hudson, who recently won a Tony for producing 2022's Best Musical winner "A Strange Loop." [Houston's Lizzo](https://www.chron.com/culture/article/Beyonce-concert-Houston-Destiny-s-Child-Walmart-17322318.php) won her first Emmy at Monday night's ceremony, bringing the singer and rapper one step closer to achieving EGOT status.

On Monday night Lizzo delivered an emotional speech at the Emmy Awards, announcing that her win was 'for the big girls'

Opting for an eye-catching, red tulle gown by Italian designer Giambattista Vallie, Lizzo looked simply stunning. Her Emmy-award winning show charts 13 plus-size dancers as they battle it out to land a role as a backup dancer at one of Lizzo's future concerts. This is for the big girls," she gushed. When I was a little girl, all I wanted to see was me in the media. In her moving speech, she said: "I mean my big girls come to the stage right now. Overcome with emotion, Lizzo dedicated her first ever Emmy award to 'the big girls'.

Lizzo won an Emmy for her show Watch Out for the Big Grrrls, which features Black, fat, and queer dancers of all body shapes and sizes.

The pure joy is evident in her voice—and the caption she shared in her post truly sums up what this night meant to her and to anyone who may look like her. In her acceptance speech, the “About Damn Time” singer also emphasized that the voices she amplified in Watch Out for the Big Grrrls usually don’t get attention in popular culture and that ultimately needs to change. The contestants talk about the way the world has treated them because of their size and their relationship to dance, but, unlike other shows with fat contestants, their backgrounds aren’t exploited to become explanations for their size.” They learn the choreography of Lizzo’s set throughout the show’s eight episodes, with the hope of being chosen to join her on stage at the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival. “The trophy is nice,” the 34-year-old pop star said, “but my emotion is for these people who are on this stage with me.” In her teary-eyed, emotional acceptance speech, she championed the representation of fat, Black women and celebrated her costars, who surrounded her in pure excitement on stage.

The "About Damn Time" singer won the Emmy for "Lizzo's Watch Out for the Big Grrrls," a documentary about her search for plus-size backup dancers.

“If I could go back and tell little Lizzo something, I’d be like, ‘You’re going to see that person, but b***h, it’s going to have to be you.'” “When I was a little girl, all I wanted to see was me in the media — someone fat like me, Black like me, beautiful like me,” an emotional Lizzo said when she took the stage to accept the award. [“About Damn Time” singer ](https://www.cnn.com/videos/business/2022/07/21/lizzo-jimmy-kimmel-undercover-sing-orig-fj.cnn-business)won the Emmy for outstanding competition program for “Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls,” an Amazon series that documented her search for backup dancers.

Lizzo wears a red Giambattista Valli couture dress to the 74th annual Primetime Emmy Awards at Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on September 12th.

HBO’s “Succession” is leading the nominations with 25 nods, followed by “Ted Lasso” (20), “The White Lotus” (20), “Hacks” (17) and “Only Murders in the Building” (17). At the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards, she arrived on the carpet in a similar-hued [Glenn Martens for Jean Paul Gaultier](https://wwd.com/fashion-news/fashion-scoops/mtv-vmas-2022-standout-fashion-outfits-red-carpet-1235306247/) ensemble. “Saturday Night Live” cast member Kenan Thompson hosted the event at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.

This is for the big girls." "Make some noise for my big girls," she added. Black like me. Fat like me. Let's just tell more stories. [Lizzo](https://www.tag24.com/entertainment/celebrities/lizzo) accepted an Emmy Award for her show [Watch Out for The Big Grrrls](https://www.tag24.com/entertainment/celebrities/lizzo/lizzos-watch-out-for-the-big-grrrls-is-redefining-body-inclusivity-2382044) with an emotional speech and tears streaming in a bold crimson dress.

Lizzo is halfway to the EGOT mark, and she could really use some roles to help her get there.

As evidenced by the vast social media praise surrounding her Emmy win, it’s clear that she has a firm fanbase, one that would likely pay to see her in productions. [Lizzo expressed interest in playing Ursula](https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2475986/forget-melissa-mccarthy-lizzo-thinks-shes-perfect-for-the-live-action-ursula) in Disney’s live-action adaptation of The Little Mermaid, though the part eventually went to Melissa McCarthy. As of this writing, she only has two movie credits to her name, with one being the animated film UglyDolls. Plus, I’m sure reaching the milestone would just feel good as hell. To be great. In her speech, she expressed her gratitude while also discussing just what it means for her to be honored for the show. There’s no telling if or when it might actually happen, but I’m confident that Lizzo will earn EGOT status at some point down the road. To be talented. To be loved. This may be hard to believe given her star status in the entertainment industry, but the rapper really hasn’t done much work in the realm of film. One would think that Lizzo herself would be interested in achieving the highly coveted title though, last night, she was definitely living in the moment. To not be the punchline of a tiredass fat joke.

In this op-ed, features director Brittney McNamara explores how Lizzo taking up space is revolutionary.

Whether it's being literally [told](https://www.self.com/story/fat-shaming) to lose weight by strangers, or being excluded from sitting in certain [chairs](https://www.vice.com/en/article/mbj7g4/roxane-gay-tells-us-about-daring-to-be-fat), traveling on certain [planes](https://www.cntraveler.com/story/how-i-navigate-air-travel-as-a-fat-frequent-flier), or wearing [certain clothes](https://www.teenvogue.com/story/history-of-exclusion-of-plus-sized-bodies-in-fashion), there are many ways fat women are told their bodies are just too big, too much. In a tearful acceptance speech, Lizzo, whose [show](https://people.com/music/lizzo-body-negativity-watch-out-for-the-big-grrrls-first-look/) put 13 fat dancers in competition for a spot on stage, called out the real beauty of her win. ( [Shrill](https://www.teenvogue.com/story/shrill-starring-aidy-bryant-revolution-fat-representation) has been a notable outlier, but it's the exception, not the rule.) In real life, there are also a set of seemingly unspoken rules fat women are expected to abide by. It's rare that we see a fat woman on screen or on stage, but when we do, she's often focused on somehow making herself smaller. We've watched time and again as pop culture has missed the mark in fat representation from Fat like me.

Beyoncé and Lizzo removed an ableist slur from their songs. Black disabled people told Insider the controversy reflects bigger racial issues.

"They aren't just being woke, they're not placating their fan base, they're participating in long-standing traditions of ethic and civil responsibility when it comes to language use," she said. So pass the mic and stop speaking for the entire community," Ojewumi said. "Scientists who are watching bacteria in a petri dish are describing their motion as spasmodic because it's unpredictable," she said. "The intention should be about growth — not about shaming." While some norms do need to be challenged, Kortenhoven added, "I think there's a kind of graciousness that's needed in the conversation." "I think the hard part for the artists and the people who are criticizing it is, when do we value context? "But I think those conversations should be had by Black people." Calling someone a "spaz" makes fun of their uncontrollable body movements, [per Urban Dictionary](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=spaz), which defines the word as referring to an "irrationally nervous or jumpy person." But Black disabled advocates say conversations around the issue are deeper than a couple of song lyrics. Some advocates with disabilities told Insider many of their white peers are unwilling to recognize the conversation should not focus on them. "There's this common belief that, 'Oh, if you're disabled, it's just like being Black,'" she said. When do we value norms of a speech community?"
