Lizzo’s Shocking Summer Glow-Up Has Fans Asking: Did She Secretly Harness Mercury’s Retrograde for That Slim-Down?

Added on May 26, 2025 inCelebrity News Cards

Ever get the feeling the stars might be nudging us all toward some serious personal glow-ups? Well, if you’ve been keeping an eye on Lizzo lately, the universe definitely seems to be collaborating. The powerhouse singer has been serving up a dazzling new look, showing off a slimmer figure while flexing her Yitty swimwear line on Instagram—and honey, it’s making waves bigger than Mercury retrograde drama. But before you start eye-rolling at the word “weight loss,” Lizzo’s own words remind us this is less about shrinking and more about shedding negativity and reclaiming joy on her own cosmic timeline. Despite what the internet chatter says, she’s made it clear: she’s still “big” and proud—over 200 pounds and fabulously so—because, let’s face it, size is just a pesky little number in the grand celestial scheme.

Could it be that Venus flirting with transformation is giving Lizzo that extra sparkle? Or maybe it’s about embracing growth the way a Gemini flips through their many moods—authentic, unapologetic, and always evolving. From turning heads with sparkling bikinis paired with denim shorts to channeling Beyoncé-level glam with her signature “blonde era” wig, this isn’t just a fashion moment—it’s a stellar statement. And while some fans gotta wrestle with the shift in her body positivity narrative, Lizzo’s fight against fatphobia hasn’t dimmed one bit. It’s just moved to a new frontier, one where self-love and evolution dance cheek to cheek.

So, whether you’re reading this from your couch during a Gemini moon or binge-watching under a fiery Leo sun, think about it—how often do we resist change simply because it breaks the mold? Lizzo dares to rewrite her own script, and I’m here for the cosmic sass.

Since the start of her weight loss journey, some of Lizzo’s fans have felt somewhat betrayed due to the singer’s past remarks about body positivity.

However, during a recent appearance on “The Breakfast Club,” the singer slammed critics who say she’s “skinny now,” noting that she’s “big.”

On the show, she opened up about her “weight release” journey, emphasizing that she is still a “big” girl.

“I think I had to start with cleaning out my mind and my energy and clearing out all of the negativity around me. And I feel like I released so much I was holding on,” Lizzo said. “I do call it a weight release because [when] it started, I got snatched here first. And then my body just followed suit, so I do feel amazing.”

She also pushed back when Charlamagne Tha God said he doesn’t consider her “big” anymore. “I am big,” she said. “What we talking about? Baby, I’m big.”

“The Internet is like, ‘Oh, Lizzo’s skinny now,'” Lizzo noted. “I am well over 200 pounds, do you know what I’m saying? I’m 5-foot-9. I got double-numbered pants on now.”

Earlier this year, fans were taken aback by Lizzo’s noticeably slimmer appearance when she dropped “Love In Real Life,” the lead single from her upcoming album.

By April, the singer opened up about her transformation on Jay Shetty’s “On Purpose” podcast, describing it as a “weight release journey.”

“I have been on an intentional weight release journey,” she said. “I put it on the internet. I posted about it, and I think over the last year and a half, as I’ve been doing it, my body has been changing — very slowly — but I don’t think people were paying attention.”

Despite the shift in appearance, Lizzo emphasized her stance remains the same: “I was still very anti-fatphobia on this entire journey. But I think that we gotta remember: everybody’s not seeing your sh-t all the time, everybody’s not seeing every video you post, everybody’s not privy to what you’re going through.”
