Lizzo Played a 200-Year-Old Crystal Flute During a Concert, Revealing the Sounds of History

This is Lizzo practicing at the library on Monday.

The 1813 flute was gifted to Madison and later saved by Dolley Madison.

However, it was not her iconic hits or dance moves that stole the show.

In preparation for the special occasion, Lizzo visited the Library on Monday and practiced playing the stunning piece.

Lizzo, dressed in a gold sequined bodysuit, grasped the crystal flute and brought it to the mic.

It’s crystal, so it’s like playing out of a wine glass.

So be patient, shesaidafter accepting the delicate object.

We just made history tonight!

Thank you to the Library of Congress for preserving our history and making history freaking cool.

This sort of thing is not all that unusual, in fact.
