Lizzo has taken to social media this week to share a body-positive naked selfie with her fans. The 32-year-old singer, songwriter, and rapper took to her official Instagram account on Wednesday, April 21, to upload a nude picture of herself sitting on a comfy-looking sofa chair, and holding a ceramic mug - covering her breasts with her arms. [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/CN5F2vZMHIE/]] In a caption addressed to her 10.3 million followers, Lizzo wrote: "WELCOME TO TAURUS SEASON [...] To celebrate I wanna give y’all this unedited selfie.

"I am excited to be partnering with @dove and the #DoveSelfEsteemProject which is helping to reverse the negative effects of social media and changing the conversation about beauty standards.

In a past interview with <a href="https://www.glamour.com/story/dont-call-lizzo-brave-for-being-confident" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Glamour</a>, Lizzo spoke about what she perceived as a double standard in the women's beauty industry, stating: "I don't like it when people think it's hard for me to see myself as beautiful. I don't like it when people are shocked that I'm doing it." <h6>Featured Image Credit: Alamy Stock Images</h6>
