Fans react to Lizzo’s flute solo

Lizzo’s flute history
Unbeknownst to some followers, the instrument actually features in many of Lizzo’s songs already. The singer is in fact a very talented and classically trained flautist and has played the instrument since a very early age. She even majored in flute performance while at university.
In her latest Carpool Karaoke sketch with James Corden, the singer whipped out an impeccable 19th-century flute solo, surprising many viewers. Lizzo showed her expertise using the instrument when she pointed out that it had “closed holes”, calling it a “beginner’s flute”.
She has also covered multiple songs with the flute, including Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Big Shot’ and Harry Styles’ ‘Adore You’. Her most iconic flautist moment, however, was when she played Beethoven’s ‘Ode to Joy’ in a hilarious orchestra sketch on SNL, where she encouraged her orchestra to “pop their booty for Beethoven”.
We look forward to seeing more of flautist Lizzo in the future – as do her fanatic followers.
