Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Lizzo 'cried like a baby' during birthday party
Caption: Lizzo "cried like a baby" during her 37th birthday party over the weekend. The About Damn Time hitmaker took to Instagram on Monday to share a slideshow of photos from a celebration thrown by her friends and family the previous evening. Lizzo, real name Melissa Jefferson, is seen posing in a leopard-print dress and matching gloves in the happy snaps, while a video shows her cutting a cake. But in the accompanying caption, the singer admitted she was overcome with emotions during the event. ”I'm a tough cookie. I tried my whole life not to cry and be seen as anything less than strong," she wrote. ”I had a lot of anxiety leading up to my birthday and I could feel it clogging my emotions... last night at dinner, while freaking out about not spending time with everyone equally and worrying if people were having a good time, I looked and saw my mommy brother & sister sitting in front of me, eating and smiling... I looked to my right and my best friend Lexo was making a joke about eating avocados and I lost it. I cried like a baby!” Lizzo went on to explain that she felt as if she couldn't control the tears in the moment. Yet, after the emotional release, she was in a much more positive frame of mind. ”I was SO HAPPY because regardless of yesterday and regardless of what was gonna happen next, in that very moment I had everything I needed. In that moment everything was ok," the star continued, before giving a shout-out to her fans. "In this present moment I am sooo grateful for all of the birthday wishes and thoughts and prayers and love. I am so full so happy and so deeply blessed by you all.” Lizzo is set to drop her new album, Love in Real Life, later this year.
