Lizzo owned the internet again when her NPR Tiny Desk concert premiered Monday morning. The diva behind "Truth Hurts" gave an effortlessly vibrant performance and had the audience eating out of her hand during the concert recored live at the desk of All Songs considered host Bob Boilen. She kicked off her set with "Cuz I Love You" and literally blew Twitter away with her flawless belts.

Twitter turned out in droves.
