Leave it to Lizzo to root for the underdog.
Turns out the "Truth Hurts" singer has always been spreading the love, even to those who get a lot of "sh*t."
In a resurfaced 2019 clip, the "Good as Hell" singer jumped to the defense of the band Nickelback, who for some reason have caught a lot of flak over the last decade for their musical style.
But admit it, you totally sing along to the lyrics.
In the clip, Lizzo was playing a round of CBS' Jam Or Not a Jam when Nickelback's 2001 hit "How You Remind Me" made its way through the queue.
The "About Damn Time" icon asked:
"Why do people not like Nickelback?"
"I feel like Nickelback gets way too much sh*t."
Lizzo's verdict?
"I think that this is a jam."
She continued while singing along:
"It has a beautiful climax."
"The beat drop out, b*tch?!"
You can watch the clip below which was shared by the band and captioned:
"Thank you Lizzo for the kind words!"
"Open invite any show any time… maybe see you in Houston this summer?”

Viewers of the clip sided with Lizzo and also shared their confusion over the Nickelback hate.

\u201c@Nickelback @lizzo Lizzo is so right....such an amazing song. Yeah, I really don't get why you get all the hate. You guys are the best!

I'll be forever a Nickelback fan #nickelchickforlife \ud83d\udc9c x\u201d— Nickelback (@Nickelback) 1681255445
\u201c@Nickelback @lizzo Lizzo - I totally agree with you on Nickelback and especially this song because this song is my fav. They get hassled because they get overplayed so it's easy to pick on them. I love how you break down the song for us .\u201d— Nickelback (@Nickelback) 1681255445
\u201c@Nickelback @lizzo There is no reason that I can see why Nickelback gets so much hate. Ludicrous in my opinion. Rock on fellas!\u201d— Nickelback (@Nickelback) 1681255445
A few even entertained the idea of a collab between the two.
\u201c@Nickelback @lizzo Collaboration loading.......\ud83e\udd20\ud83d\ude02\u201d— Nickelback (@Nickelback) 1681255445

\u201c@Nickelback @lizzo Now that would be a good combination concert.\u201d— Nickelback (@Nickelback) 1681255445
All in all, though, fans - especially Nickelback fans - appreciated her kind words and her analysis from a musical perspective.
\u201c@Nickelback @lizzo It was really cool of Lizzo to be kind towards Nickleback. I LOVE Nickleback!\u201d— Nickelback (@Nickelback) 1681255445
\u201c@Nickelback @lizzo This is so pure. \ud83e\udd23\u201d— Nickelback (@Nickelback) 1681255445

\u201c@Nickelback @lizzo Thank you so much Lizzie. I love them too.\u201d— Nickelback (@Nickelback) 1681255445
Well guys, by Lizzo's decree, Nickelback is now deemed "Good As Hell."
\u201c@Nickelback @lizzo The Queen has spoken!\u201d— Nickelback (@Nickelback) 1681255445
