Lizzo Says She Waited to Have Sex Until After Her 2020 Grammy Wins

Her disclosure traces the vow to church purity rules.

Overview

  • Lizzo, speaking on the Friends Keep Secrets podcast Tuesday, said she kept a personal promise to wait for sex until after winning Grammys and confirmed her first time was in 2020, not on awards night.
  • She explained that the pledge grew from a strict church upbringing and a teen purity pact, which left her cautious about intimacy.
  • She said her first kiss came at 21 and described it as a forced New Year’s Eve kiss that felt “terrible.”
  • She admitted lying for years about being sexually active to dodge embarrassment, recalling she told friends she “loved the D” even though she was still a virgin.
  • The milestone she cited was her three Grammys in January 2020 for Truth Hurts, the deluxe Cuz I Love You, and Jerome, and she said sharing this now feels like a weight off her chest.
