She has lit up awards shows and concert stages, soared up various Billboard charts, starred in commercials. She even appeared on the silver screen in “Hustlers” with J.Lo.

Are you ready for Lizzo, TV star?

The Grammy-grabbing, Minneapolis-launched superstar, who was named Time magazine’s entertainer of the year for 2019, has signed a first-look television deal with Amazon Studios, Variety.com reported.

Her projects will be tied to Amazon Prime Video.

The “Truth Hurts” hit-maker has demonstrated her magnetic personality in such nonmusical endeavors as being a judge on “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” hosting MTV’s “Wonderland” series and voicing a character in the animated movie “Ugly Dolls.” She assumed the cameo role of a flute-playing stripper in “Hustlers.”
