If any artist can send the internet into a frenzy just with a simple “SHHHH” coupled with a sneaky emoji, Lizzo can. And she did, just yesterday before sharing some huge news with her fans this morning.

Promising all of us that we were “REALLY gon [sic] like” her post today, the multi talented flautist/singer/performer/icon teased that she had some big news to share.. and well, prepare yourselves because we are about to enter a new Lizzo era.

Beginning August 13th with the release of her first single of 2021- “Rumors,” Sasha Flute’s mom will be welcoming us all into the wonderful world of new Lizzo music, and it could not come at a better time- as she prepares for a fall of festival appearances and new show announcements.

And though Lizzo has been extremely active on social media over the course of the 2020 pandemic, even hinting at her single last week while addressing “rumors” about herself on her TikTok page (did you hear she’s having a baby with Chris Evans?!)- music has been noticeably lacking from the singer’s pages. But with “Rumors” marking her first release since 2019’s masterpiece Cuz I Love You– we are confident this single will give fans a glimpse into what the future holds for the singer. And if we’ve learned anything about her career and music thus far- it’s only getting better from here.

AND now WE’RE crying cuz we love her.

You can pre-save “Rumors” now here, and be sure to stay tuned on Lizzo’s socials for updates on all upcoming releases, sneak peaks and (hopefully) an album announcement.
