Lizzo didn't take home any hardware during the second night of the 2023 Primetime Emmy Creative Arts Awards on Sunday (January 7). But in a classic “lucky to be nominated” post, the “About Damn Time” singer said she was still celebrating price.
“NAH IMA TALK MY S–T… OUT OF 100 CONCERT SPECIALS THE EMMYS PICKED MINE FOR OUTSTANDING VARIETY SPECIAL— IT'S AN HONOR YOU OFFER TONIGHT WITH THE LEGENDS!” Lizzo wrote in an Instagram post about her 2023 HBO Max special Lizzo: Live in Concert getting a nod in the category for pre-recorded variety offerings.
Lizzo thanked her “tour family” and special guests who appeared on the special directed by Sam Wrench (Taylor Swift: The Eras tour) that premiered on December 31, including Missy Elliott, Cardi B and SZA. “WE HAD A LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE THAT *NO ONE* COULD GET US,” she wrote, giving props to the A-list for making the show “EVEN EXTREMELY SPECIAL.” The post also included footage of Lizzo performing in concert, as well as hugging Elliott, Cardi and SZA.
Live in Concert was defeated by the NBC special Carol Burnett: 90 Years of Laughter + Love in the category that also included stand-up specials from Trevor Noah, Wanda Sykes and John Mulaney and a tribute to TV icon Normal Lear.
“IM DOIN SHOT TONIGHT CUS WE ARE ALREADY WINNERS AND MORE THAN WINNERS
The awards were originally scheduled to take place in September, but were postponed due to strikes by Hollywood writers and actors.
