This Lizzo and Cookie Monster interaction delivered the perfect "Truth Hurts" remix
Two years after she first released “Truth Hurts,” Lizzo’s absolute banger has reached number one on the Billboard charts, where it’s remained for two weeks in a row. The track has become so prolific that it’s inspired the inevitable Kidz Bop cover (“I just took a DNA test, turns out I’m 100% that kid”), but it wasn’t until yesterday that Lizzo unlocked one of the most flattering pop culture achievements: An acknowledgement from Sesame Street. It began with a cute-as-hell tweet from Cookie Monster (yes, he has his own Twitter account), which elicited a response from Lizzo herself—yielding not only the perfect remix of “Truth Hurts,” but a social media interaction that is just so pure:
We are not worthy of such joy, and yet, perhaps because Lizzo is a gracious and benevolent queen, it didn’t stop there:
Lizzo collected a few of her favorite replies featuring additional lyrics like “You coulda had a big batch, gooey middle.” In her caption, Lizzo expresses a desire to hit up Sesame Street, “cuz I’m tryna twerk w/Big Bird.” Honestly, if Sesame Street doesn’t invite Lizzo on to hang with Big Bird and Cookie Monster in the next, like, hour, we should absolutely riot.
