Lizzo gave a behind the scenes look at her new collab with Cardi B, “Rumors.”
The pop star took to Instagram to share several pics and videos from the goddess-themed music video shoot for her newest single. In one of the videos, Lizzo is seen exiting her trailer wearing a sheer bodysuit and a gold headpiece adorning 43.5 foot long braids. The Grammy winner was followed by four helpers who lifted the super-long braids to keep them from touching the ground.
The braids were seen in the music video trailing behind Lizzo as she walked down a massive staircase. The singer credited celebrity hair stylist Shelby Swain for the look.
“BIG SHOUT OUT TO THE 43 AND A HALF FOOT BRAIDS I HAD IN ‘RUMORS’— LITERALLY THE LONGEST BRAIDS IN THE WORLD ASK @guinnessworldrecords !!!!” Lizzo captioned the video.

The 33-year-old singer also opened up about asking Cardi to work with her on Rumors in an interview with Apple Music, saying that “there was literally no one else” she would have feature on “Rumors,” per People.
“Cardi B is the ultimate. She, to me, has always done it right. Everything that she said, every way that she’s reacted because you know why? It’s because she was true to herself the whole time. She’s a groundbreaker,” Lizzo said.
She continued, “You can’t deny her ability. She’s a superstar. She has changed the game forever for a lot of us, a lot of women. I don’t even think she realizes she’s doing it because it’s just like, I’m trying to just be successful. I’m trying to get this money. I want to live a happy life. She just follows her heart. That’s what I love about her.”
