Lizzo continues her mammoth Special Tour with dates across Australia this month and the set of concerts haven’t been without a few difficulties.
Last night the 35-year-old star performed for a second sold-out night in a role at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena.
During the show the rapper was forced to perform her hit Truth Hurts without a spotlight after it went out.
According to the Herald Sun, she asked: “Can the lights come back on? Did we pay the light bill, b**ch”
In the end, she overcame the technical difficulty by performing in relative darkness and asking fans to “use your imagination”, yet there was another very emotional moment.

“An absolute superstar who’ll be round for a long time. #Lizzo #Melbourne #SpecialTour.”
