Lizzie Oscar Continues to Target Sydney Sweeney Over American Eagle Campaign

The singer Lizzo has once again criticized actress Sydney Sweeney regarding her recent American Eagle jeans advertisement. Lizzo shared a snippet of a new song titled “I’m Going In Till October,” in which she referenced Sweeney’s campaign, appearing to mock the actress’s attire and the controversy surrounding it.

In the clip, Lizzo is seen washing a car, dancing in revealing denim shorts, an outfit reminiscent of Sweeney’s controversial ads, which featured Sweeney in an all-denim ensemble. Lizzo lyrics include a pointed line: “Bitch, I got good jeans like I’m Sydney!” This playful diss was met with amusement from her followers, who used laughing and skull emojis in online comments.

The actress had earlier become the subject of social media backlash after her July ad, in which she wore an all-denim look, was criticized and likened to “Nazi propaganda.” The ad, which highlighted her “good jeans,” drew accusations of racial insensitivity and sparked widespread debate. Lizzo had previously ridiculed this campaign in a repost, joking, “My jeans are black,” accompanied by a digitally altered meme of Sweeney in a similar outfit.

Sweeney has not publicly addressed the controversy but has appeared unfazed, attending karaoke nights and red carpet events in recent days. Her past social media posts have resurfaced, including her 2022 MAGA-inspired birthday party, which some right-wing social media users praised, and her trip to a gun range in 2019, which also faced criticism.

Meanwhile, Lizzo’s playful jabs add to the ongoing public discussion about Sweeney’s campaign. The actress, who is a registered Republican, has remained silent on the backlash but has acknowledged the intense reactions, describing the outrage as a “wildfire.”

Despite the controversy, American Eagle has maintained its support for the ad campaign, asserting that its focus is solely on promoting their jeans.
