Fans of Lizzo are commending the "Truth Hurts" singer for opening up about her struggles with sadness in a vulnerable new video.

Taking to TikTok recently, the 33-year-old artist shared a video of her wiping away tears and opening up about her complicated emotions.

"You know that part of sadness where you feel like a burden on everyone and annoying and nobody cares about you? Can we get rid of that part?" Lizzo asked. "It's like, yo, I'm already sad. Gotta add insult to injury that I got no one to talk to about it?"

The Grammy winner posed a question to her fans while using a tissue to dab away her tears asking, "Why do we feel this way when we get sad?"

"I don't want to feel this way anymore," Lizzo said. "I want to feel like I do have someone to talk to, people do care about me."

The "Juice" singer closed out her video with a mantra that reminded her that her current negative feelings do not reflect real life. "I am loved. I’m not alone," she expressed before crying harder. "That’s how I want to feel, but I don’t feel like that."

Lizzo later checked back in with fans, letting them know their kind words helped her, explaining, "I had a really rough night and a very emotional morning just thinking about my relationships and life."

She added that she has reached out to her therapist.

Fans love how honest and real the singer is for opening up about her struggles with sadness in a vulnerable new video.

"I love you guys. And if you're going through things, just know you're not alone," she added. "You're definitely not. And I love you."

This isn't the first time Lizzo allowed herself to be vulnerable around fans. Last month, she admitted to feeling "helpless" and noted "Black girls, I love you. We deserve to be protected and loved."
