The singer, 36, who shocked fans when she appeared to quit the music industry in March, slipped into a swimsuit as she stood on a a balcony in the rain in Bali while reflecting on her life.
WHY SHE’S TAKING A BREAK FROM MUSIC
The star – whose last album Special was released in 2022, wrote: ‘I’m taking a gap year and protecting my peace [prayer emoji] (sic).’
Earlier this year, Lizzo seemingly announced her exit from the music business.
The Truth Hurts hitmaker admitted that she had grown tired of ‘being the butt of the joke’.
WHAT SHE REALLY SAID
She wrote on Instagram in March: ‘I’m getting tired of putting up with being dragged by everyone in my life and on the internet. All I want is to make music and make people happy and help the world be a little better than how I found it. But I’m starting to feel like the world doesn’t want me in it.
‘I’m constantly up against lies being told about me for clout and views … being the butt of the joke every single time because of how I look. My character being picked apart by people who don’t know me and disrespecting my name. I didn’t sign up for this s***. (sic)’

However, Lizzo later clarified that she wasn’t quitting the music industry.
She said: ‘I quit giving any negative energy attention. What I’m not gonna quit, is the joy of my life, which is making music, which is connecting the people, ’cause I know I’m not alone.’
