Artist Lizzo took the stage last night to perform her hit song “Truth Hurts” for the BET awards and she absolutely killed it! She garnered so much attention with her performance even fashion icon and music legend Rihanna gave Lizzo the credit she deserved.

The star-studded event kicked off at 8 p.m. Rapper Cardi B led the awards this year with 7 nominations, two of which she took home. The artist also performed two songs with husband and famous rapper Offset to kick off the awards show. However, the performance that swept the crowd off their feet was by singer and rapper Lizzo.

Lizzo began her hit song on top of what looks like a giant size three-tier wedding cake. She and her back up dancers are all wearing white costumes and have flower bouquets in their hands. Lizzo is wearing a short wedding dress with a white veil covering her face, she lifts the veil and drops the first verse of her song.

Throughout her performance Lizzo had the crowd's energy skyrocketing. You can see them singing along while waving their hands in the air and dancing.

However, the epitome of Lizzo’s show was when she whipped out a flute and began to play it in perfect pitch.

The camera cuts to Rihanna to show her smiling and giving Lizzo a standing ovation. Even if Lizzo didn’t win any BET awards last night she totally won the hearts of the audience and definitely Rihanna’s.
