In a revealing and emotional interview, Lizzo opens up about her childhood, the death of her father, her long path to success and a lifetime of listening to well-meaning - and sometimes mean - comments about her weight. She tells Smith things turned around for her once she started to believe beauty comes in all sizes. "Like, when I'm looking at my body and I'm shaming every little thing about it, I have to look at all of those things that I'm shaming, and I have to find love in those things. And I think that is why I'm able to call myself fat," Lizzo says. "I can also feel healthy and still be fat," she adds. "I can be healthy and be fat. I can be beautiful and be fat. I can be beautiful and all of those things. And I think it's because I learned to actually look all of my insecurities in the face, call them by their name and fall in love with them."Videos
