Lizzo’s “About Damn Time” has been one of the biggest pop hits of the past few months, and the superstar brought her latest uptempo smash to the 2022 BET Awards on Sunday night (June 26).
Kicking off the awards ceremony with an unbridled celebration at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, Lizzo did it all: she rocked a disco-ball pantsuit, played her flute, showed off some flawless vocals and participated in some top-notch choreography before the pyro came reigning down on her stage. She also took a moment to shout out Black music and its power during the showcase, which ended with a standing ovation from the just-arrived audience.
Lizzo has been nominated for five BET Awards over the course of her career, with one win to date, for best female R&B/pop artist in 2020. Since its release in April, “About Damn Time” has peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
