Lizzo lights up the latest issue of Variety Magazine and, true to form, left jaws ajar.

And it wasn’t just her stunning look, but also her quotables.

Find out what we mean below…

Speaking to the publication, the multi-hyphenated star confirmed the murmurs that she did indeed audition for the role of Ursula in Disney‘s upcoming live-action incarnation of ‘The Little Mermaid.’

The role ultimately went to Melissa McCarthy.

Still, Lizzo reflects on what her take on the classic character would have been:

“Everyone knows I auditioned for Ursula and I didn’t get it. But you know, I’m fine as hell. That has nothing to do with Ursula, but I was down to make Ursula a THOT, shaking ass.”

Elsewhere, she spilled on her forthcoming album. She said of the follow-up to ‘Cuz I Love You’:

“Broadly, I’ve been working on this album since the summer of 2018. It has evolved to a place where I’m proud. It’s one of the most musically badass, daring and sophisticated bodies of work I’ve done to date. I am not done. I’m still pushing out the hits, baby. And I hope that it is some of the most useful pieces of music to ever exist. All I want to do is help people through my music.”

Continuing, she told the publication:

“You know what’s crazy? At the Adele show, I ran into Melissa McCarthy, because she [got cast as] Ursula. She was like, “Hi, I’m Melissa.” And I was like, “Hi, I’m Melissa. And I also auditioned for Ursula.” And she was like, “Well, why the hell did I get the part?,” which is a classic Melissa McCarthy thing to say. And then I was like, “Girl, because my audition was terrible.” And I say that as Tyler Perry walks by. And I was like — ruined my chances there. And then she goes, “This is my daughter Vivian.” And I’m like, “Get out of here, because my name is Melissa Viviane.” We were looking at each other like, “What the hell is going on?”
