Lizzo is one of the stars of this year’s Savage X Fenty Show, and with good reason: she’s the definition of #SavageNotSorry. Lizzo has always been the face of having confidence in yourself no matter how you look and living your life the way you want to and not caring about what others think. Though she’s single at the moment, Lizzo keeps this same energy even when it comes to planning her future wedding.

Lizzo is private about her dating life

For someone who likes to live life with all of her business out in the open, Lizzo is surprisingly quiet about her dating life. Despite having a sultry soul song called “Jerome,” there’s never been any indication of a real-life Jerome. Her “new man on the Minnesota Vikings” from her smash hit single “Truth Hurts” is equally mysterious, as she’s only referenced him once in concert as someone from Detroit.

Nearly ever song on Lizzo’s Grammy-winning album Cuz I Love You was about a Gemini man she was seeing at the time. She says the relationship fell apart because of bad timing and her need for freedom. “As fucked up as it sounds, I needed that heartbreak experience,” she told Rolling Stone. “I’m not sad, because I use the pain so constructively. It’s inevitable. The pain is human experience.”

Lizzo has had many ‘weddings’ before

Lizzo told Rolling Stone that for many years she saw herself having a lonely lifestyle — “no children, two friends,” and focused on her work. “But it’s different now,” she added. “Like my relationship with my family, I’m working on that. I open myself up to friendships. I open myself up to the idea of children, which is big for me, ’cause my albums are my babies.”

That doesn’t mean that Lizzo hasn’t been in her fair share of weddings. When she performed “Truth Hurts” at the BET Awards in 2019, she and her dancers all wore white outfits and danced on a giant wedding cake. This set design is something she continued with every performance of “Truth Hurts” on her Cuz I Love You Too Tour.

Lizzo wants to walk down the aisle to one particular song

Lizzo also made history this year by becoming the first plus-size Black woman on the cover of Vogue magazine. In a video interview after her cover shoot, Lizzo opened up about her music, her life, and where she hopes to go from here.

When asked about what song she’d like to “walk down the aisle” to at her wedding, she effortlessly dodges the question and asks if they were talking about the aisle at the grocery store or the aisle of an airplane. While she doesn’t give a straight answer regarding her wedding, she gave a classically Lizzo answer to the question.

“I like to walk down the private jet aisle to ‘Shake That Laffy Taffy’ by D4L,” she laughed. She added that she’d love to have her first dance at her wedding to “Knuck If You Buck” by Crime Mob, and even calls the hip hop classic “the national anthem.”
