Lizzo explains the 'downside' of being friends with fellow pop star Adele
Popstar Lizzo has opened up about her close friendship with fellow singing superstar Adele - and the downside to their relationship.
The 35-year-old music sensation also counts former One Direction star Harry Styles as a close friend - and even tunes in to Love Island.
Lizzo says she is always able to rely on 35-year-old Adele for a fun night out, and says she has to text 29-year-old Harry so he can translate the British slang Love Island contestants use.
The About Damn Time star opened up a bout her friendship with the two British mega stars - and explained that there is one downside to hanging out with Someone Like You singer Adele.

"The only downside is, I don’t always remember everything.”
She added: “I love the British accent but even though we speak the same language, it sometimes feels worlds apart.
"Especially when I am watching Love Island – I will have to text Harry [Styles] and ask, ‘What does don’t mug me off mean?’ ”

However, the star missed out on playing a headline slot of her own after she took too long to respond to an offer made by organisers.
Glasto boss Emily Eavis told Anita Rani on Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour: “Lizzo confirmed way after.

"It would have been a great idea. Lizzo would have been an amazing headliner and hopefully she will headline.”
The 2023 festival came under heavy criticism for failing to have any female headliners on the main stage.
A furrows backlash was unleashed when the line-up was revealed back in March.

“I’m trying my best and, believe me, it’s a real, passionate subject of mine. I’ve been trying to raise the flag around gender and festivals for a long time. But we can only do so much.
“I just do what I think is right. Because I don’t have an agenda, I’m just trying to do the best thing for the festival and make it as fair and equal and brilliant as possible.”
