“A true angel,” wrote one fan in the comments section. Another said: “It’s really inspiring to see a person with such a following who practices what they preach.”

This comes after US president Donald Trump warned that there are a “very, very painful two weeks” ahead for the country. As of Tuesday evening (March 31), America’s death toll from coronavirus exceeded 3,800.

Lizzo, meanwhile, has been hosting group meditation sessions on Instagram as many of her fans continue to face self-isolation and strict lockdown measures. “Sing your favourite songs, find music in the little things,” she said in one video.
