On Wednesday, September 28, 2022, Lizzo visited the Library of Congress as their guest and was treated to the largest flute collection in the world. The instrument she played and, indeed, the very act of playing it, are Worth Noting.

Congress, L. of. (2022, September 28). A flute @lizzo played in the main reading room Monday (with permission from some lucky researchers who were there!) looks similar to the crystal one she had at her concert, but is actually plexiglass. it is also very rare & was manufactured when the material was first invented.🔊 pic.twitter.com/3i33d9NdQV.
