Well, it looks like Lizzo has saved the day once again.

When the star's National Public Radio (NPR) Tiny Desk concert premiered yesterday, social media users were quick to label it one of the greatest of all time - a big call considering NPR's mini-concert series has hosted some of the world's biggest names in music.

Singing hit singles including 'Truth Hurts' and 'Juice', Lizzo had no qualms whipping out her trademark flute and preaching self-love during the live set.

“I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time!” the singer and rapper says at the start of the performance, which she rebranded as her “tiny-ass desk” concert.
She also took the opportunity to chat about self-love - encouraging her fans to embrace themselves with the same ferocity they've embraced her.

"I just want everyone to remember, if you can love me, you can love yourself," the star said.

She added: "Every single day. If you can love my big, black ass at this tiny, tiny little desk, you can love yourself."
