- The @librarycongress has the largest flute collection in the world with more than 1,800. It incl Pres James Madison’s 1813 crystal flute. @lizzo we would love for you to come see it and even play a couple when you are in DC next week. Like your song they are “Good as hell.”😉
- .@lizzo is not the first musician (and she won’t be the last) to play instruments at the @librarycongress. Gershwin honorees @smokeyrobinson and @LionelRichie have played on the Gershwin piano and @YoYo_Ma played the Stradivari cello. (1/2)

- This makes my heart swell. ❤️ @lizzo you are a gift to all of us. And it’s YOU who just made history much more cooler. We appreciate all the @librarycongress love at the concert last night. We can’t wait to have you back. #LizzoAtLOCYALL… I PLAYED THE 200-YEAR-OLD CRYSTAL FLUTE FROM THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS ON STAGE IN D.C. 😭😭😭😭 @LibnOfCongress thank you ❤️
