Lizzo surprises her mother with a brand new car for Christmas

Lizzo has surprised her mum with a very special gift this Christmas.

On Sunday, the 'Good as Hell' singer, 32, gave her mother Shari Johnson-Jefferson a brand new car for the holidays. In the footage, Johnson-Jefferson can be seen breaking down in tears of joy when she opens her eyes and sees the car, before turning around to give her daughter a hug.

"Got my mommy a brand new Audi for Xmas," she captioned her post. "I remember crying in my car when my daddy passed, no job no money nowhere to live, wishing I could one day provide for my family.. I couldn't do it for my dad so ima make sure I spoil Mama. Happy holidays y'all."

In January, the Grammy Award winner opened up about her father's death, telling CBS This Morning that she was a student at the time and dropped out of college soon after.

"That was my home for a little. I spent Thanksgiving in that car, and I remember I cried myself to sleep."

Lizzo said surviving those rough times motivated her to make music again. "I used everything that happened to me and made myself stronger," she said.
