Lizzo, 37, recently shared a surprising detail about her past, revealing she vowed to remain a virgin until she received a Grammy Award. The singer discussed this personal commitment during an appearance on the 'Friends Keep Secrets' podcast hosted by Benny Blanco & Lil Dicky.

The Grammy Pact

“I was a late bloomer. I lied about it for a long time,” Lizzo confessed as the hosts attempted to guess her age when she first became sexually active. She explained that she made a promise to herself at a young age, stating, “I wouldn’t have sex until I won a Grammy.”

Achieving Her Goal

Lizzo ultimately won her first Grammy Awards in 2020. Her album’s deluxe version took home the award for best urban contemporary album. She also received wins for best pop solo performance for “Truth Hurts” and best traditional R&B performance for “Jerome.”

Life After the Grammy Win

When asked if she would have eventually broken her vow had she not won a Grammy, Lizzo responded, “Who knows?” She clarified that while she didn’t have sex immediately on the night of the Grammys, it happened shortly after.

Despite achieving her goal, Lizzo explained that sex wasn’t at the forefront of her mind when she won. “I didn’t even know that it was in my cards,” she said, adding, “I wasn’t even really set up for that.”

Past Deceptions and First Kiss

Lizzo also admitted to previously lying about her virginity, calling it “so embarrassing.” She recalled a night with friends where they were discussing their sex lives, and she falsely claimed, “I love the D!”

The singer further revealed that her first kiss occurred at age 21, influenced by both her Grammy pact and religious beliefs. “When we were teenagers at my church, we all made a pact that we wouldn’t do anything before marriage,” she explained. However, she described the experience as “terrible,” stating, “It was a New Year’s Eve thing and he, like, forced it on me. I was really mad and I was like, ‘My first kiss is ruined!’”
