Lizzo buys first home after 10 years of couch surfing and sleeping in her car: 'It's a milestone for me'

It's about damn time for Lizzo to be living the good life!

The three-time Grammy Award-winning artist opened up about what it feels like to finally be a homeowner and gave a glimpse of her luxe Beverly Hills home in an interview with CBS Sunday Morning.

In October, she reportedly spent $15 million on the house previously owned by Harry Styles. This would be her first home after 10 years of crashing on friends' couches and sleeping in her car.

"Just 10 years ago, you were sleeping in your car," CBS correspondent Tracy Smith told Lizzo.

"Yeah, yeah. And staying in people's rooms and sleeping on their couches. Now, on this past tour, I was blessed to stay in really nice places but I was like, 'I miss my house. I can't wait to come back to my own home and to my bed.' I was like this is the first time I've ever said this. It's a milestone for me," the rapper said.

The About Damn Time singer's beautiful abode was dressed up for the holidays, with a Christmas tree by the pool and a few more trees in her 5,300-square-foot home.

"It's excessive, I know. Don't come for me, America... Not having stuff for a long time and now I got it, I'm going overboard," she shared, adding that she enjoys giving gifts during the holidays.

It's been a big year for the 34-year-old artist—her latest album Special is up for six Grammy Awards and she accepted her first Emmy this year for her Amazon Prime reality series Lizzo's Watch Out for the Big Grrrls, a docuseries on her search for backup dancers.
