Niall Horan Reveals the Pick-Up Line Lizzo Used on Him When They Met

Niall Horan remembers his first encounter with Lizzo quite fondly. During Thursday’s broadcast of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the former One Direction member, 26, revealed the “Good as Hell” singer, 31, had used a pick-up line on him when they first met. “I was in London doing a radio performance in the studio,” he recalled to host Jimmy Fallon. “She was coming in to do an interview in the studio as well and someone said, ‘Oh, Lizzo’s here!

She’d love to meet you. &apos” “We’re passing in the corridor, I was like, ‘Ah! Lovely to meet you! ’ Gave her a big hug.

‘Your voice is incredible. Your songs are amazing. You’re absolutely smashing it,&apos” he continued. “And literally, without missing a beat, she just went, ‘You can smash this!

&apos” Horan went on to praise Lizzo’s quick wit and boldness, clapping while he mimicked his shocked expression during the meeting. “And I was just like, ‘Fair play,&apos” he remembered. “I actually started blushing myself!

“” Lizzo also seemingly made a move on basketball player Karl-Anthony Towns this week, calling him her “baby” during a court-side interview with Fox Sports at the Los Angeles Lakers game against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday.”

“Both teams are great. I’m personally cheering for No. 32,” she said with a laugh, referencing Towns’ jersey number. “That’s my baby!

” When asked if she knew the athlete, Lizzo revealed they actually haven’t met before launching into a remixed version of “Truth Hurts” by singing, “New man on the Minnesota Timberwolves! ” 🎶 New man on the Minnesota Timberwolves 🎶 cc: @KarlTowns @lizzo 😂 pic. twitter. com/FQveOCZA2K — Timberwolves (@Timberwolves) December 9, 2019 At the same game, Lizzo went viral after she was filmed twerking in a black dress that showed off her entire backside during the Laker Girls’ performance to her song “Juice”.
