People typically associate Lizzo with a good sense of humor. She enjoyed being a Jeopardy! answer in 2019. There are also dozens of videos on YouTube titled “Lizzo’s funniest moments.” In an increasingly serious music industry, Lizzo’s levity and antics are eagerly welcomed by fans. What’s more, she has found success pushing a brand that balances levity with the sincere embracing of concepts like inclusivity, body positivity, and musical accessibility.
However, few people had “Lizzo cameos on The Mandalorian” on their bingo cards. Last week, The Mandalorian‘s Season 3 episode Guns for Hire starred Lizzo and Jack Black as the husband and wife rulers of a small planet. Overall, fans loved her larger-than-life, brightly-colored, Grogu-loving Duchess. It was a small but powerful role in a side plot episode of the show. Enjoyable, but unlikely to redefine Star Wars canon. That was until this past weekend when Lizzo took things a step further with a genius revelation.
Lizzo Crowns Herself As A “Disney Princess”
@lizzo *Disney Dutchess
In a TikTok posted over the weekend, Lizzo argued that because she played royalty in Star Wars, that now makes her a Disney princess. Star Wars has been a Disney property since 2012, with The Mandalorian streaming exclusively on Disney+. Lizzo’s logic makes sense, she is technically Disney royalty now. However, legally speaking, she would only be Disney nobility. The title of Duchess is not a royal one, but a noble one. Despite this, things could be different in the Star Wars universe and we’re willing to let this slide for Lizzo. She is a confirmed Disney princess as far as we, and many of her fans, are concerned.
The comments on Lizzo’s video are full of fan support. However, many fans also note that she was already a queen in their eyes. Overall, the video is yet another light-hearted moment from the beloved pop star. However, there is one thing Disney could do to make the title truly official. With a live-action Princess & The Frog adaptation reportedly coming from Disney, maybe they could find a way to properly enthrone Lizzo. To quote The Duchess herself, it would be “about damn time.”
