Lizzo couldn't resist sharing the incredible success of her record-breaking "Special Tour," spanning from 2022 to 2023.

The multitalented artist, known for her rap, singing, and flute playing skills, meticulously laid out the impressive journey of her sold-out global headline tour that reached awe-inspiring audiences across 14 countries and three continents.

Lizzo's 'Special Tour' Achievements

Lizzo (whose birth name is Melissa Jefferson) delighted her followers with a snapshot showcasing her unique fashion choices.

The "Juice" singer playfully captioned her Instagram post "2024" and then included her tour's achievements.

"$85,000,000 tour gross
883,500 tickets sold
68 dates
14 countries
3 continents."

In the comments section, followers called out the four-time Grammy winner for bragging about her income. They compared her to Taylor Swift and Beyoncé.

"Taylor and Beyonce don't have to brag about their income. Please don't be that girl. Be humble," one person said.

Another commented, "I'd be bragging about helping people and animals."

A third said, "This is so out of touch and tone deaf," and a fourth questioned, "Since when? I don't even recall a tour announcement...."

Lizzo's Max concert special, titled "Lizzo: Live in Concert," recently lost the Creative Arts Emmy Award for outstanding variety special (pre-recorded) to Carol Burnett's NBC special, "90 Years Of Laughter + Love."

This comes after momentous occurrence that left an indelible mark and expressed her delight on social media.

In 2019, after just two weeks of working on the Max rock-doc, filmmaker Sophia Nahli Allison decided to step down from her directorial role, citing a lack of respect and a negative experience.

During the very same tour, allegations arose against the "body-positive" advocate and her trusted dance leader, Shirlene Quigley.

The accusations against Lizzo revolved around the creation of a toxic and discriminatory atmosphere, encompassing sexual, religious, and racial abuse, as well as fat-stigma.

Attorney Marty Singer, representing Lizzo, has filed a request for a hearing before Judge Mark H. Epstein at the Santa Monica Courthouse on January 24th.

The "Truth Hurts" singer with her massive following of 43.3M social media users, recently addressed the situation in a heartfelt statement, expressing that causing discomfort was never her intention.

"I am very open with my sexuality and expressing myself but I cannot accept or allow people to use that openness to make me out to be something I am not."
