Lizzo recently made headlines for taking part in former President James Madison’s 200-year-old crystal flute on the Library of Congress during her Washington, D.C. concert. The Library of Congress tweeted that Lizzo didn’t harm the instrument after some conservative pundits tried to make it out like she defiled it. “For those concerned concerning the flute: Music Division curators made sure it may very well be played without damage,” the organization tweeted out. “This kind of thing just isn’t all that unusual, in truth. A few of the Library’s priceless instruments were donated with the stipulation that they continue to be functional & be played.”

Lizzo spoke herself to NPR in August about her history playing the flute. She was chosen by a flute specialist teacher to play the instrument in fifth grade. “I do not know why she picked me,” Lizzo said. “I feel—afterward, she was like, , you only had embouchure. I could inform you’d have flute embouchure, which is, , your mouth. But I do not know. And I used to be, like, grateful because I desired to play flute. I believed it was the best instrument. But, , who could have known? All of the cool girls play clarinet anyway.”
“I used to be very, very, very serious [about my flute career],” Lizzo said. “I studied flute. I played it every night. After I was a senior in highschool, or a junior, I began studying with the principal flutist of the Houston Opera, and he or she was also a professor on the University of Houston. So I used to be studying with Sydney Carlson for years. And he or she was type of, like, priming me to go to U of H. She got me my scholarship to U of H. After which, once I was studying together with her there, she was setting me up to check on the Paris Conservatory.”
“I used to be going to to check flute on the Paris Conservatory,” she continued. “And I used to be going to actually just, , wait in line for that first chair. I saw a lifetime of Concert Black and Boston Pops and traveling the world. And when that did not pan out for me, I used to be very depressed. I used to be very sad. I do not really know what happened. I feel the pressure of those two worlds type of got to me. Because I used to be waking up every morning at like 6 A.M. for marching band at U of H, after which I might go to the rehearsal hall, and I might practice on this tiny room for hours.”
“After which at night, I might not sleep and rap at fashion shows, and check out to not sleep, and sustain with all of the fraternities and sororities,” she said. “And that was really taking a toll on me. And I used to be like, who’re you, ? At this point, you can do all of it through highschool, but you are in college now. You are about to be who you are going to be eternally. And now, who’s that?”
