Her debut album Lizzobangers was released in 2013, followed by her sophomore album Big Grrrl Small World in 2015. But it was her 2019 blockbuster Cuz I Love You, which featured her hit songs Juice and Tempo featuring Missy Elliott, that cemented her firmly on a global stage, leading to appearances on Saturday Night Live and RuPaul's Drag Race, an acting role in the 2019 film Hustlers, and the opportunity to voice a character in the animated film UglyDolls. The album won the Grammy Award for Best Progressive R&B Album as well as Best Pop Solo Performance for Truth Hurts.

Lizzo has been featured in a 2022 documentary about her career called Love, Lizzo, as well as her Emmy Award-winning reality TV series Lizzo's Watch Out for the Big Grrrls.
