Priscilla Block Looks Up To Lizzo
It turns out Lizzo was someone she used to look up to for inspiration.
"To be honest, I spent a lot of my younger years just hating my body and myself," she told Nashville Lifestyles. "I always felt like I wasn't good enough, and even coming into country music I heard multiple times, 'If you're really trying to make it, you need to lose 30 pounds.'" She saw positivity with the singer. She said, "I just never really saw [body positivity] talked about in country, and I think that's why I like people like Lizzo and Cardi B, all these women who show off their bodies and love it. I saw people like them and thought, 'Maybe I could do that.'"
Block hopes that one day she might run into the singer. She said she would faint from shock.
"Country is like one big family, but if I see Lizzo on the red carpet I might collapse," she said. "I think it means more to be recognized as one of the new people in country when it's coming from something with all genres included. And I love that it's happened when I feel really secure inbothwhoIamandwhoIamasanartist.I've been in Nashville nine years, and I look back like, 'Thank God this didn't happen sooner because I was still trying to figure out who I was.'
