"I always believed in me now Beyoncé believe in me too," wrote Lizzo, who also uploaded a video with a poignant personal anecdote.

"I remember when I was telling my friend's mom what my major in college was gonna be and I told her I was gonna major in music performance and she laughed in my face," the singer recalls in the video, "She said, 'Music performance?
