It’s “About Damn Time.” Fans will get to know much more about Lizzo in a new documentary about her music journey coming to HBO Max this fall.
Lizzo unveiled details on the film Wednesday during an appearance at the Warner Bros. Discovery Upfront presentation at Madison Square Garden.
“Growing up I never dreamed I’d get to experience all of the things I’ve accomplished in my life, and I’m just getting started. I’m so excited I get to share and relive my journey with my fans and HBO Max,” she said in a statement. “From ‘Cuz I Love You’ to my dramatic world tour, losing and gaining love, and creating my new album ‘Special,’ y’all get to see the amount of time, patience, blood, sweat and tears that went into this process. It takes ten years to become an ‘overnight success,’ and hopefully I can inspire other young creatives to keep going.”
