Lizzo was overcome by emotion in a video shared to TikTok over the weekend in which she confessed that she felt ‘like a burden on everyone.’
The 33-year-old singer, rapper and flautist film the self-shot clip in her kitchen before she burst into tears while admitting she was feeling down in the dumps.
But the video had a happy conclusion and Lizzo revealed later on Saturday that she was feeling much better.
Down in the dumps: Lizzo, 33, opened up about feeling sad in a tearful video shared to her TikTok on Saturday in which she confessed to feeling like a ‘burden’
Lizzo filmed herself in closeup while wearing a black-and-white striped shirt with her gas range in the background.
Her eyes were already red at the start of the video, though she seemed somewhat composed.
‘You know that part of sadness where you feel like a burden on everyone, and annoying, and nobody cares about you?’ she asked aloud before letting out a sigh.
‘Can we get rid of that part? It’s like, “Yo, I’m already sad,”‘ she continued. ‘Gotta add insult to injury that I have no one to talk to about it. It’s crazy. Like, why do we feel this way? Why do we feel this way when we get sad?’

Feeling alone: The Truth Hurts singer said she didn’t feel like she could talk to anyone about her feelings. ‘I don’t want to feel this way anymore,’ she said, before reminding herself that, ‘I am loved’
‘I don’t want to feel this way anymore. I want to feel like I do have someone to talk to and people do care about me,’ she said, before reminding herself that, ‘I am loved. I’m not alone. That’s how I want to feel but I don’t feel it.’
‘OK, this is embarrassing,’ she said before ending the video.
Lizzo didn’t specify what was making her feel so bad, but she did give a hint of it in a follow-up video shared to TikTok later on Saturday in which she said things were on an upward trajectory.
‘I’m feeling better. I had a really rough night and a very emotional morning just thinking about my relationships and life,’ she explained. ‘You know how it is, it gets dark.
