Lizzois giving fans an inside look at her fabulous night at the Emmys.
“It’s selfie time :),” Lizzo, 34, captioned the Instagram post, where she’s holding her Emmy.
In the post, Lizzo included photos with stars likeZendaya,Martin Short,Sheryl Lee Ralph, Jennifer Coolidge,Pete Davidsonand more.
At the award show, Lizzo took home the outstanding competition program Emmy for her showLizzo’s Watch Out for The Big Grrrls. During her acceptance speech, she was filled with emotions.
“I want to say thank you to Emmys and the Emmys voters, first of all. I’m very emotional,” the “Good as Hell” singer began, through tears. “The trophy is nice but the emotion is for the people who are on this stage with me. The stories that they shared are not that unique, they just don’t get the platform. Let’s just tell more stories.”
“When I was a little girl,all I wanted to see was me in the media. Fat like me. Black like me. Beautiful like me,” she continued. “If I could go back and tell little Lizzo something, I would be like, ‘You are gonna see that person but bitch, it’s gonna have to be you.'”

Lizzo’s award also meant she is halfway to EGOT — meaning having won an Emmy, Grammy,OscarandTony.
“They were beautiful dancers and beautiful people, but they just didn’t look like me,” she said.
To remedy the frustration, the “Truth Hurts” singer said she decided to do it herself — and host an open casting call where she could hand-pick the women who would be next to her on stage, and make sure they looked more like her.
