Scuse me, not sure if you can fitness into your schedule, but the baddest flautist-rapper in pop music turns 34 years old this week, and some folks in Tampa want to celebrate.
Today, LiveNation and Hot 101.5-FM announced plans to team up with Crunch Fitness to throw a birthday party for Lizzo, who's actually headed to Tampa this fall.
The shindig set for Wednesday, April 27 from 2 p.m.-5 p.m. is free, open to the public and happening at Crunch's Channelside location near downtown Tampa (where Lizzo plays Amalie Arena in September). Lizzo herself won't be there, but fans can still worship the body positivity goddess by singing happy birthday, picking up free one-day gym passes and entering to win tickets to Lizzo's Sept. 24 show in Tampa. There'll be free chocolate chip cookies from Milkin' It, too.
