The estate spokesperson wrote to Billboard that the talented and classically-trained pop star brought history to life with her performance.

The estate highlights a number of aspects of its history, including The Mere Distinction of Colour, an exhibition that looks at Montpeliers connection to slavery and how slavery impacts todays conversations about race, identity, and human rights, according to Montpeliers website .

The three-time Grammy Award winners songs exemplify how music is a universal language that brings people together, the estates spokesperson told the music news site.

Whatever genre, music helps people connect, express emotions, and create deep, lasting bonds. As Lizzo continues her concert tour in the coming weeks, were crossing our fingers that she would consider adding a stop at James Madisons Montpelier, once home to Madison, father of the U.S. Constitution.
