Lizzo plays James Madison's crystal flute while racists play dog whistles
I have bad news, America: Our country has apparently been ruined because Lizzo played an old flute nobody knew existed.
The wildly popular singer, rapper and songwriter – who’s also a classically trained flautist – played a crystal flute gifted to President James Madison in 1813 during a concert Tuesday in Washington, D.C. The opportunity came via the Library of Congress, which houses the precious flute and agreed to let Lizzo play it at her show.
