Fans have been gushing over Lizzo's transformation in a new video posted to social media.

On Monday, the 35-year-old singer took to Instagram to share a glimpse of what her followers could expect from the latest drop of her shapewear brand, YITTY.

The clip started with Lizzo proclaiming that it's a "new year, new me," before she went on to say: "You know how they say, 'don't walk, run'? Teleport, b****", to get their hands on the new look.

The star then proceeded to give her 12.5 million followers a look at three new matching gym outfits - one in a deep red, one in a rich blue, and the other in an iconic black.

"This is the ultra lift legging and bra," she continued while showing potential customers the difficulties of putting the duo on, but once fitted in place, the set is supposed to give wearers, especially plus size wearers, a solid lift in the areas they need it.

Unlike many brands that don't seem to provide size or shape-inclusive wear suitable for plus-sized men and women, YITTY aims to bridge that gap and give them a variety of pieces to choose from.

"You have no idea how hard it was to get into this..." Lizzo added, before going on to state that despite that, the "technology" behind the clothing is used to "snatch and lift" people's bodies.

She also gave a close-up of how the particular lifting feature holds up her butt and keeps everything nipped and tucked while working out or even just wearing it casually.

"It looks like we went to the gym, but we didn't go to the gym," she said, hinting at the sculpting nature of the set. "...We're putting ourselves first this year guys. You don't have to wait to feel like the best version of yourself.

"New year, new me in my YITTY," the 'Boys' singer concluded.

"You look great," wrote one user, while another added: "You are such a beautiful human."

A third chimed in: "Because you look amazing Queen."

"You look amaziiiiiiiinggggggg," another Instagram user wrote.

Prior to this new YITTY drop, the Grammy-award-winning musician opened up about how she was focused on self-care and her personal health.

"Hi. I’m working.. on music, myself, relationships with people and food, my anxiety, my body, my business and my trust issues with the world.. but they are deep now, deeper than they’ve ever been. Xoxo," she captioned an Instagram post alongside a bathroom selfie in a white robe from November 16 2023.

Speaking to PEOPLE about the importance of her work as part of a 2022 cover story for the outlet's Women Changing the World issue, Lizzo opened up about body image and changing "the standard."

Referring to her body as "hot", she went on to say: "It may not be one person's ideal body type just like, say, Kim Kardashian might not be someone's ideal, but she's a body icon and has created a modern-day beauty standard. And what I'm doing is stepping into my confidence and my power to create my own beauty standard.

"And one day that will just be the standard," she added.
