Lizzo is feeling good as hell after the 75th annual Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards.

Following Saturday and Sunday’s award show honoring achievements in primetime television, the pop star, 35, posted to Instagram to celebrate the nomination her Max concert special Lizzo: Live in Concert received. Although she didn’t take home the prize for outstanding variety special, the singer/rapper wrote that she feels like the team behind the project “are already winners” and shared she was “doin shots” to celebrate.

The “Special” singer posted a carousel of shots from her performing on stage in the concert film, which was released in late 2022 and features footage from one of her shows at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum.

In the caption, she tagged the Television Academy and the entire team behind the documentary to express her gratitude, and opened up about what the nomination meant to her.

“NAH IMA TALK MY S---,” the hitmaker’s post began. “OUT OF 100s OF CONCERT SPECIALS THE EMMYS CHOSE MINE FOR OUTSTANDING VARIETY SPECIAL— ITS AN HONOR TO BE NOMINATED TONIGHT WITH LEGENDS!”

The Grammy winner continued by shouting out her collaborators, including Cardi B, Missy Elliott and SZA, who all appeared as guests in the special. “And to my SPECIAL TOUR FAMILY! THANK YOU— WE HAD A LIFE-CHANGING EXPERIENCE THAT *NO ONE* CAN TAKE AWAY FROM US,” she wrote. “THANK YOU @missymisdemeanorelliott @iamcardib @sza FOR MAKING IT EVEN EXTRA SPECIAL.”

The celebratory post sweetly concluded, “IM DOIN SHOTS TONIGHT CUS WE ARE ALREADY WINNERS AND MORE THAN CONQUERERS🙌🏾 IM TAGGING EVERYBODY IN THE PICS — I LOVE YOU, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, AND YOU CAN DO ANYTHING 💖💖💖💖.”

The “Truth Hurts” singer’s Lizzo: Live in Concert was among the nominees for outstanding variety special (pre-recorded), along with Carol Burnett’s 90 Years of Laughter + Love, John Mulaney’s Baby J, the late Norman Lear’s 100 Years of Music & Laughter, Trevor Noah’s I Wish You Would and Wanda Sykes I'm an Entertainer.

Burnett, 90, ended up taking home the award for her birthday tribute and comedy special, which aired on NBC last spring.

The 2024 Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards isn't the first time that Lizzo has been up for an Emmy. Back in 2022, her Amazon Prime Video series Lizzo's Watch Out for the Big Grrrls was nominated for — and ended up winning — the award for outstanding competition program.

Aside from celebrating her Emmy nomination, the R&B-pop artist kicked off 2024 by teasing the latest offerings from her shapewear brand Yitty on Instagram.

"New year, new me. You know how they say 'Run don't walk?' Teleport, bitch," the musician said in a clip while modeling her latest line of leggings and sports bras.

The singer — who is still in the midst of facing several harassment lawsuits from past employees — also revealed to fans on social media in November that new music should be on the way sometime in 2024.

At the time, the Cuz I Love You artist shared a mirror selfie on Instagram and opened up in the caption about what she had been turning her attention to as of late. “Hi. I’m working.. on music, myself, relationships with people and food, my anxiety, my body, my business, and my trust issues with the world,” she wrote. But they are deep now, deeper than they’ve ever been. Xoxo"
