\n\tLizzo<\/a> is dreaming of a better future for members of the LGBTQ+ community, specifically Black trans women.<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring her performance at WeHo Pride\u2019s OUTLOUD Music Festival on Saturday, the hitmaker dedicated a soulful cover of \u201cSomewhere Over the Rainbow\u201d to some of society\u2019s most vulnerable members before penning a heartfelt message on Instagram.<\/p>\n

\n\tSharing a clip of the cover on the first day of Pride Month \u2014 one day after she took the stage in West Hollywood \u2014 Lizzo wrote, \u201cAs this month begins, let us remember there would be no pride without the Black trans women & trans women of color who fought against the systems that tried to erase them.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIn honor of that fight we have to continue to take a stand against that very same system that threatens our rights to bodily autonomy and liberation,\u201d she continued in her caption. \u201cWe ain\u2019t free till we all free. I love you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe video finds the musician wearing a sparkly red coat, a cut-off Yitty T-shirt and denim shorts, her long hair blowing in the wind. \u201cWe still in some sh\u2013, right?\u201d she tells the crowd. \u201cBut hopefully one day beyond this mother\u2014-ing rainbow, bi\u2014, we will see a place where we no longer have to fight to exist. This is for you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAt that, Lizzo dives into her jazzy rendition of \u201cOver the Rainbow,\u201d which was originally sung by Judy Garland in 1939\u2019s The Wizard of Oz<\/em> before being adopted by the LGBTQ community as a gay anthem in the decades that followed. \u201cSomewhere over the rainbow, way up high,\u201d she sings with emotion tinging her voice. \u201cThere\u2019s a land that I heard of once in a lullaby.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe \u201cTruth Hurts\u201d artist was one of a few dozen acts on the OUTLOUD lineup, with Kim Petras, Frankie Grande and more also performing Saturday. The Sunday lineup was headlined by Remi Wolf, with sets from Honey Dijon, Paris Hilton, Rebecca Black and more.<\/p>\n

\n\tLizzo\u2019s message comes during a particularly challenging year for the LGBTQ community. During his first few months back in office, President Trump has worked to undo a number of legal protections for gay and trans people, with GLAAD<\/a> counting at least 225 \u201cattacks\u201d on LGBTQ rights within his first 100 days in office.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe singer\/flautist, however, has long been vocal in her support for her LGBTQ fans, and in 2023, her brand Yitty unveiled a line of gender-affirming shapewear<\/a>. \u201cYou deserve to feel like you,\u201d she wrote at the time. \u201cYou deserve to feel good in Your Skin.\u201d<\/p>\n
