Helen Housby copied Lizzo's dance while the tournament.
Helen Housby was playing for England during their group match against Northern Ireland at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.
Helen Housby, who plays for the Superleague team Manchester Thunder, was filmed shaking her hips and waving her hands in the air while Lizzo’s ‘Truth Hurts’ played over the loudspeaker. The video quickly racked up over a million views, with many people lauding Housby for her moves. Lizzo’s song “Truth Hurts” was playing over the loudspeakers, and Housby began to dance along.
Lizzo noticed the similarity and posted a video of the moment on her Instagram account with the caption “Helen Housby copied my dance at the Commonwealth Games.” The video quickly went viral, with many people praising Housby for her moves.
Helen is not the only one who has copied Lizzo’s dance moves. Last year, Lizzo’s choreographer, Sean Diddy Combs, posted a video of himself and other dancers doing the “Truth Hurts” dance. Combs captioned the video, “We all Lizzo.”
Lizzo has also been copied by other athletes. In 2018, Olympic figure skater Adam Rippon danced to Lizzo’s song “Truth Hurts” during his routine at the Winter Olympics. Rippon’s performance went viral, with many people praising him for his moves.
It seems that Lizzo’s dance moves are becoming increasingly popular, and it’s no surprise that athletes like Helen Housby are copying them. Lizzo is a talented performer with catchy songs that are perfect for dancing. With her positive message and great dance moves, it’s no wonder that Lizzo is so popular.
It’s not the first time that Housby has been caught dancing on the court - she was also filmed shaking her booty to Lizzo’s ‘Good as Hell’ during a match last year.
It was an eventful day for Helen Housby, who not only had to contend with Lizzo’s dance moves, but also had to come from behind to win her Commonwealth Games gold medal match.
Housby found herself 2-0 down early on, but fought back to level the match at 2-2. With the game tied at 3-3, Housby held her nerve to score the winning goal with just seconds remaining on the clock.
The victory secured England’s first ever Commonwealth Games gold medal in women’s netball.
