Lizzo Reveals She Lost Her Virginity After Winning 3 Grammys in 2020

Singer Lizzo, 37, shared on the 'Friends Keep Secrets' podcast that she lost her virginity after winning three Grammy Awards in 2020. This revelation honors a pact she made with herself when she was younger. During the conversation, Lizzo admitted to being a 'late bloomer' in this aspect of her life and that she even lied about it for a long time.

Lizzo explained that she wasn't actively thinking about having sex, but rather had simply promised herself that she would wait until she won a Grammy. When Lil Dicky asked her if she would have really stood by that promise, Lizzo responded with uncertainty, leaving open the possibility that she might have eventually changed her mind. The night she lost her virginity was not the night of the Grammys, but it did happen shortly after.

Lizzo confessed that she used to say she had already had sex, and now feels like she has lifted a weight off her chest by being honest about it. She recalled an occasion in college when she was with a group of friends and they directly questioned her about whether she was a virgin. At that moment, Lizzo lied and said she wasn't, even claiming that she loved sex. Now, she reflects on how embarrassing that moment was.

In addition to her virginity, Lizzo also revealed that she didn't have her first kiss until she was 21, partly due to religious reasons. She explained that, during her adolescence, she and other members of her church made a pact not to have sex before marriage. However, she also admitted that she was scared and that no one wanted to kiss her back then. When her first kiss finally happened, it wasn't a positive experience, as she felt it was forced and ruined, which angered her at the time.

At the 2020 Grammy ceremony, Lizzo took home three awards: Best Pop Solo Performance for 'Truth Hurts', Best Urban Contemporary Album for the deluxe version of 'Cuz I Love You', and Best Traditional R&B Performance for 'Jerome'. These awards marked an important milestone in her career and, according to her own confession, also influenced her personal life.

Lizzo's most recent album, 'Love in Real Life', was released last year. Before returning to music, the singer took a 'gap year', in her own words, in 2024. This time off allowed her to reflect and recharge before embarking on new musical projects.

The singer explained that during her adolescence, in her church, they made a pact not to have relationships before marriage. In addition, Lizzo admitted that she felt scared and that no one showed interest in kissing her. Her first kiss, according to her account, was a disappointing experience that occurred on New Year's Eve and that she felt was forced, which angered her at the time. This event contributed to her perspective on relationships and intimacy in her early years.

After the release of her album 'Love in Real Life', Lizzo decided to take a break from music in 2024. This 'gap year', as she described it, allowed her to step away from the public eye and focus on her personal well-being. During this time, Lizzo had the opportunity to reflect on her experiences, both personal and professional, and recharge for future musical projects. This strategic break demonstrates her conscious approach to maintaining a healthy balance in her life and career.
