Lizzo faces threats and unfriendly signs at BottleRock Napa festival.
TL;DR
Lizzo, the first Black woman to headline BottleRock Napa Valley, saw threatening signs before her performance, but refused to let the bigots win. She did not specify the signs, but a Napa Valley Register article from 2021 describes controversy around signs reading “CHOKE THE WOKE” and “AMERICA LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT” posted near the Napa Valley Expo. Lizzo's show featured a number of political moments, including a shout of “Drag is not a crime!” Despite the threats, Lizzo still seemed like she was having fun onstage and had the most crowded performance of the day.
