Lizzo turned New York City into her personal celebration stage this week, marking both Pride Month and the release of her new album, Bitch, with a series of surprise appearances at some of the city’s most popular LGBTQ+ venues.
The Grammy-winning singer reportedly stopped by multiple gay bars in Hell’s Kitchen and the West Village, where she treated patrons to free drinks, live performances, and unforgettable moments throughout the night. At one venue, Lizzo bought an entire round of drinks for the crowd before heading to another hotspot to continue the festivities.
Fans were stunned when the singer took the stage to perform songs from her newly released album. Witnesses said Lizzo danced alongside drag performers, twerked with queens, and even showered legendary New York drag entertainer Shequida with cash during the celebration.
The promotional tour didn’t stop at the bars. Lizzo also projected her album title and release date onto a building in Soho, creating a larger-than-life advertisement that quickly attracted attention across social media.
The following morning, the singer continued her busy schedule with a performance on the Today show’s summer concert series, keeping momentum high for the album launch.
Lizzo has long been recognized as a vocal supporter of the LGBTQ+ community, often describing her fans within the community as family and celebrating Pride events throughout her career.
Her latest Pride Month appearances further reinforced that connection, blending music, celebration, and community support while giving fans a memorable kickoff to both Pride festivities and her newest musical era.
