Lizzo Takes a Transformative Gap Year in Bali to ‘Protect Her Peace’

Lizzo, known for her recent pop hits and empowering messages for women, recently announced on Instagram that she’s taking a year off and is currently in Bali.

On August 25, Lizzo revealed in her Instagram story that she’s “Taking a gap year & protecting my peace.” The accompanying image shows a contemplative Lizzo seemingly enjoying the soothing atmosphere of Bali.

Over the past few days, the singer has been sharing glimpses of her Bali vacation with her fans. In one post, she humorously wrote, “Unfortunately I’ll be posting way too many bikini pics.” Embracing her curves, she boldly flaunts them, radiating the energy and essence of her hit song “Good as Hell.”

One of her Instagram Stories features a video of her skipping rope on a beautiful Bali balcony. The video is sped up, emphasizing her commitment to maintaining a healthy lifestyle even while on a break.

This hiatus follows a tumultuous year for Lizzo, who has been transparent about her mental health struggles. Recently, she faced significant public criticism and allegations of sexual harassment from three former tour dancers, which led to a lawsuit that was paused in March. Lizzo has strongly denied these accusations, calling them sensationalized stories.

In the same week, Lizzo shared her frustrations over the continuous online abuse she has been receiving. “I am so sick of being dragged by everyone in my life as well as people on the Internet,” she posted. Despite feeling overwhelmed, she reaffirmed her dedication to music, stating it brings her the most joy.

Moreover, Lizzo’s 2022 album, Special, debuted at no. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart, with her single “About Damn Time” reaching the no. 1 spot on the Hot 100. She felt the need to take a step back and focus on her well-being, which she is doing by enjoying Bali’s serene environment, engaging in physical activities, and resting.

Lizzo’s self-care journey serves as a reminder for her fans to prioritize their well-being. By sharing her experiences, she continues to empower and inspire others to take care of themselves too.
