Lizzo in Tears After Beyonce’s Birthday Wish

In these difficult times, we always look for a silver lining. And today, we’ve found it in Lizzo. She just celebrated her birthday earlier this week and received possibly the best gift of all time: a birthday wish from Queen B.  

Beyoncé wished Lizzo a happy birthday by posting a message to her official website, complete with a photograph of a baby Lizzo. If you were wondering, the baby photo is far from cringe. It shows us a mini-Lizzo, with these adorable sunny yellow spectacles sitting on her nose, while she looks like she just delivered the sass of the century before she was even out of her diapers.

Now that’s a double whammy right there because, for starters, Beyonce took the trouble of digging out that adorable childhood photograph and well, it’s Beyonce doing it, there’s absolutely no higher honor.

And now, Lizzo’s here brightening up our day, because she finally reacted to this sweet gesture with a tearful video message uploaded to her Instagram Story.

“Beyoncé wished me happy birthday. Beyoncé wished me happy birthday on her website. She knows it’s my birthday. Thank you, Beyoncé. Oh, my god. Thank you, Beyoncé. She knows. She knows I exist. I don’t know what to do with myself. Wow, gonna sit with that one for a while,” she gushed. No judgement there, Liz, we’d probably do the same.

She also took to Instagram to post a picture of her reaction to the birthday wish, with the caption, “BEY YON SAY wished me a happy birthday BITCH ! I don’t know how to ACT  She is my inspiration to be a singer after seeing destiny’s child perform in the 5th grade… I LOVE YOU BEY! Thank You! Let me go drink some damn water.”

This is possibly the only acceptable reaction to getting a birthday wish from Queen B. We’d love to see the two of them interact more often, just so we can live vicariously through Lizzo.
