Lizzo praised for welcoming drag performers on-stage despite Tennessee's anti-drag law

American rapper and songstress Lizzo celebrated on stage with a group of drag performers in Tennessee during the week, with the star making a stand against the state's anti-drag law.

Making a defiant statement on Friday night (April 21), Lizzo, 34, put on a show for her fans at her The Special Tour in Knoxville, TN.

In the state of Tennessee, there is a drag ban, which forbids "adult cabaret entertainment" from taking place on public property. The bill became a law earlier this month.
