Lizzo to cover BTS' 'Butter' for BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge, wears Vmin top in teaser

Lizzo has always been vocal about her love for BTS and how her bias in the group happens to be Jimin

Lizzo has returned once more to the BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge. Live Lounge is one of the most exciting segments of the visual radio show as artists cover iconic songs by other singers. We’ve had the likes of Ed Sheeran, Lil Nas X, Halsey sing their own rendition of songs like Hozier’s ‘Take Me To Church’, Dolly Parton’s ‘Jolene’ and Jonas Brothers’ ‘Sucker’. Lizzo had covered Harry Styles’ ‘Adore You’ when she appeared the last time and now it is BTS’ 'Butter'.

BTS themselves performed for the first time on BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge in July 2021. They got to perform their own songs ‘Dynamite’ and ‘Permission To Dance’. For the special cover, they sang Puff Daddy and Faith Evans’ ‘I’ll Be Missing You’, which in turn is a cover of The Police’s ‘Every Breath You Take’. The segment’s latest guest is Lizzo and in the teaser, she is seen wearing a ‘Vmin’ top as she gets ready to cover ‘Butter’.

For her BTS cover at Live Lounge, Lizzo’s donned a crop top saying ‘Vmin’ - the combined name of the BTS members V and Jimin. Those who love the friendship between the two call them ‘Vmin’. And fans find it adorable that Lizzo chose to wear the ‘Vmin’ top.
