The Washington Post on Instagram: "Wearing a sparkling bodysuit, Lizzo stood onstage during her concert at the Capital One Arena on Tuesday and blew into a crystal flute that belonged to James Madison. Yes, that James Madison. The James Madison who served as the fourth president and is considered the “Father of the Constitution.”“History is freaking cool, you guys!” the singer shouted as the crowd screamed.But before that public performance came a series of private moments at the Library of Congress that proved powerful for those who witnessed them and led to that flute ending up in the singer’s hands at the concert. On a day when the Library was closed to the public, Lizzo spent an afternoon exploring its massive flute collection and trying out several of the historic instruments.“She is amazingly talented,” said Carol Lynn Ward-Bamford, who serves as the curator for the flute collection. She said she handed Lizzo more than a half dozen different types of flutes and she could play them all." | Zootzle
