Lizzo Brings Hamden 7-Year-Old Girl On Stage, Shares Advice

HAMDEN, CT — After going viral on TikTok for a video of her singing and dancing to a Lizzo song, 7-year-old Aria Cannon from Hamden was invited on stage after she caught the attention of the star herself at Lizzo's show at the XL Center Tuesday, NBC Connecticut reported.

The moment becomes even more special when you know what led up to it. According to NBC Connecticut, Aria and her mother, Danielle, were able to attend the concert after winning tickets in a local radio station's contest.

Photos shared by the outlet show that before the concert, Aria's mother made Aria a miniature version of the costume Lizzo wore in her "Special" music video and made a sign for Aria to hold that showed a photo of Aria in the viral video with the text "Hey Lizzo, it's ME Aria!"

Once the mother-daughter duo was at the show, fans spotted Aria and rallied to get the pair down to the floor of the venue, allowing Aria to lock eyes with Lizzo.

"She said that I was special and she loved me and nothing could stop me," Aria told NBC Connecticut. "She said 'keep that same energy you always have.'"
