Following her Grammys win and The Brits medley, Lizzo stopped by the BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge to perform her own “Special” and, per the tradition of covering an on-the-charts song for the show, deliver her take on Sam Smith and Kim Petras’ “Unholy.”
In true Lizzo fashion, she put her own stamp on “Unholy” by adding a flute solo to the mix.
The rapper also ran through the title track of her latest LP, which recently received a SZA-featuring remix.
Lizzo won the Record of the Year Grammy for “About Damn Time” — using much of her acceptance speech to praise Beyoncé — while Smith and Petras won Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 2023 Grammys for “Unholy”; the duo also delivered an FCC-baiting performance of the song during the event.
As Lizzo revealed on social media, she’ll next be heading to Springfield — a cartoon version of her, anyway — when she guest stars on an upcoming episode of The Simpsons.
