Lizzo celebrated her 37th birthday on April 27, with her birthday photos showing her surrounded by beloved friends and family. But beneath her jolly photos was a raw caption that struck a chord with her followers. The candid moment of vulnerability unraveled the music sensation’s persona, hiding behind her fierce self-love anthems and body positivity. She confessed she broke down during her birthday dinner while enjoying a casual moment with her friends and family.
The artist wrote, “I’m a tough cookie. I tried my whole life not to cry and be seen as anything less than strong.” She further noted, “I had a lot of anxiety leading up to my birthday and I could feel it clogging my emotions.”
Lizzo revealed her anxiety aggravated during her birthday dinner. She said, “While freaking out about not spending time with everyone equally and worrying if people were having a good time, I looked and saw my mommy brother & sister sitting in front of me, eating and smiling.” She admitted the moment she “cried like a baby,” writing, “I looked to my right and my best friend Lexo was making a joke about eating avocados and I lost it.”
Though dressed in stunning animal prints and surrounded by cherished faces in the photos, Lizzo’s birthday anxiety was a common experience. Birthdays often stir up unexpected emotions, whether or not one is in the spotlight. Lizzo’s anxiety was more than about overwhelm – it marked a moment of deep gratitude and happiness. She thanked her fans and shared a reel grooving to Shania Twain’s “Man! I Feel Like A Woman!” proving birthdays can be a mix of tears and laughter.
