TL;DR Summary

Lizzo brought drag queens on stage during her concert in Knoxville, Tennessee to protest against the state's legislation restricting drag performances in public. The law was signed by Republican Gov. Bill Lee in February, but a federal judge temporarily blocked it in March. Civil rights groups have criticized the law as a violation of free speech. Lizzo defended her decision to perform in Tennessee, saying she wanted to create a safe space to celebrate drag entertainers and differences.
