The 37-year-old singer dressed sharp and all black, posted pics of her outfit in summons on Instagram, even captioned at jury duty and... But prosecuted struck her from the panel right away. She took the civic duty seriously, snapping selfies and videos like it was just another day. Fame doesn't skip jury calls for stars, but it often gets them bounced early to avoid swaying the room or distracting folks. Fans lit up social media with jokes, picturing Lizzo handing down sentences or slaying in court. One quip had her giving 15 to life just by walking in, while others cracked up at celebs still pulling duty shifts. Her past calls to rethink police funding back in 2020 might have played a role too, especially with the officer assault angle.
