“I’m just excited to sing it,” Lizzo said of ‘Butter’ ahead of her debut Live Lounge show. “I love the song, love how positive [BTS’] music is and how funky it is. So I was super excited to sing this.

“I’m singing it around the house anyway, I might as well sing it in the Live Lounge.”

It comes after the singer improvised a song about the friendship between BTS members Jimin and V last week.

As for ‘Rumors’, Lizzo told Radio 1 she’d been waiting “a long time” to deliver her “first filmed performance of this song”. “I’m so excited to show the world how well we can perform it and how much we rock out,” she added.
