Lizzo KILLS Her Melbourne Show, Reacting Iconically To Lighting Glitch

Grammy award-winning singer Lizzo wowed Melbourne at her Rod Laver Arena show last night, even powering through a lighting glitch in the most iconic way possible.

Towards the end of her show, it appeared the lighting from the stage went out, leaving the entire stage in complete darkness.

The incident happened during her performance of ‘Truth Hurts’, one of her most iconic hits that went platinum three times in Australia.

The mishap happened during an elaborate flute solo and an incredible choreographed dance feature, which became almost impossible for the crowd to see as they appeared as shadows on the stage.

She reacted to the incident in the most Lizzo way possible, powering through by twerking on stage and later noting the incident saying, “Can the lights come back on? “Did we pay the light bill, b**ch?”

no bc when the lights stopped working at lizzo last night she said ‘did we pay the light bill bitch’ it was so funny 😭😭

After the lights came back on, Lizzo decided to perform her hit one more time for the audience to experience it in its full glory, which fans loved.

Turn up the music, turn down the lights. Literally, as the lights went out so we got treated to two versions of Truth Hurts @RodLaverArena @lizzo pic.twitter.com/IJnNzwUywt
