On February 16, the 34-year-old surprised his Instagram followers with a first look at his 2-D character for the show. The animated avatar features the sitcom’s signature drawing style, uniquely capturing Lizzo’s appearance.
The “About Damn Time” artist donned a blue top with matching blue leggings, both designed to accentuate the entertainer’s voluptuous figure. Her hair was styled into thick curls held by a headband. No other accessories are visible, not including the blue nails like nail polish and white shoes.
“SEE YOU IN SPRINGFIELD, B***h,” the Detroit native captioned his post, receiving over 200k likes and thousands of comments from fans and celebrity friends. A-listers include music streaming service TIDAL, which commented, “Outstanding.” Virtual reality platform Meta echoes the same sentiment by writing, “serving in every universe.”
Actress Kerry Washington joined the hype trend by hailing the BET Award winner as stunning but playfully writing it off as “uh may zing.” Fans were not outdone by celebrities as they alike expressed their excitement for Lizzo’s appearance in the sitcom.
“Omg I never watched the last 9 seasons, but I will for this!!!” a Lizzbian gushed while her fellow admirers expressed that they couldn’t wait to see their idols team up with Lisa Simpson. “Lizzo on flute and Lisa on saxophone,” the fan wrote.
A third claimed the body positive supporter had achieved a new status with his career move. “You’ve officially reached Legend status if you’re going to join the Simpsons,” the individual claimed, “congratulations Lizzo.”

Given the many upbeat responses, it’s safe to say many are eager to watch the “Juice” singer do her thing on the sitcom. However, fans better pay attention while watching the season 34 finale because Lizzo will be voicing not one but two characters.
Entertainment Weekly revealed that the Apple Music Award winner will also play the role of a little green elf. Premiering in May, the season finale titled “Homer’s Adventure Through the Windshield” follows the sitcom’s lead, Homer Simpson, flying through the windshield of his car during an accident.
The show’s executive producer Tim Long explained that Lizzo will play a “happy little elf doll” who comes to life to be Homer’s spirit guide after the collision. Although the 34-year-old uses the word “b***h” constantly, his character becomes friends with the lead actor.
Additionally, a multi-dashed star flute will also appear. Long revealed that the singer performed with Lisa at the end of the episode. However, the producer did not give any spoilers but assured the fans that it will be a surprise.
