  Speaker 1: Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest. Around the beginning of
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: the year, Lizzo announced she was done with her next album,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Love in Real Life, and it was on the way.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: But then in late June, she released an entirely different
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: surprise project instead, a rap mixtape called My Face Hurts
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: from Smiling. And she just shared with New York Magazine
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: why she pivoted and why Love in Real Life, which
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: she largely recorded in twenty twenty two, may never see
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: the light of day. She says, by twenty twenty five,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: I changed. The world had changed, and so much had
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: happened to me, and it just wasn't what I was
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: feeling right now. I knew I needed to do something different.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I don't always know what it is, but I'm going
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: to just start following my instincts. So I sat down
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: with my label and I said, I need to do
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: it my way, starting right now. It's going to be
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: a little scary, but everybody agreed and said, we got
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: your back. So there's Lizzo on why she opted a
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: hold off on releasing her album Love in Real Life,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: though she did leave open the possibility of eventually putting
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: it out. The album she went with instead, my face
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: hurts from smiling. Is well, now that's direct from Hollywood.
