Lizzo has been a fan of Destiny’s Child for a long time, and even saw the trio perform at Walmart back when she was in the fifth grade. The four time Grammy winner discussed her mission to tell Beyoncé, Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland about her attendance at the Walmart performance gig in a recent interview.
Lizzo stated, “It has been a goal of mine to tell every single member of Destiny’s Child that I saw them perform at Walmart in the fifth grade, I told Michelle Williams years ago at Bonnaroo and I was like, ‘OK, one member down, two to go.’”
Lizzo then shared that she told Bey about the news at the 2023 Grammys, and then saw Rowland at dinner later on that same night. Recalling the night Lizzo stated, “Beyoncé was like [to Rowland], ‘Do you know she was at the show at the Walmart? I tell people we performed at Walmart all the time and they do not believe me,’ I was like, ‘Yeah, y’all performed at a Walmart on Dunvale and Westheimer in Houston, Texas.’ […] Kelly was like, [gasps] ‘You were there?’”
Bey went on to make history that night at the ceremony, becoming the artist with the most awards in Grammy history. She won four awards this year, including two in the dance/electronic category.
