Lizzo Tears Into Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle Campaign with New Song
Controversy Continues as Lizzo Takes Aim at Sydney Sweeney
The singer Lizzo has once again targeted actress Sydney Sweeney, following her previously thrown shade over Sweeney’s American Eagle jeans campaign. Lizzo created a new song snippet called “I’m Goin In Till October,” in which she referenced Sweeney directly. In the video, she is seen washing a car, twerking in revealing denim, a matching jacket, and black heels, while lyrics mock Sweeney’s fashion choices.
In the song, Lizzo raps, “Bitch, I got good jeans like I’m Sydney,” a clear nod to Sweeney’s recent advertising efforts. Fans responded positively to the lyric, often joking with emojis and praise for the playful diss.
Previously, Lizzo had shared a digitally edited meme showing her in a similar outfit to Sweeney’s July ad, captioning it “If the Democrats won the election,” which was a satirical jab. She reposted it with the phrase “My jeans are black…” in reference to Sweeney’s all-denim campaign, which sparked criticism and accusations of political messaging and racial undertones. The ad for American Eagle, centered on Sweeney’s “good jeans,” drew controversy for being labeled a “racialized dog whistle” by critics.
Sweeney, who wore an all-denim ensemble in her campaign, has yet to publicly respond to the backlash. Meanwhile, her previous social media posts, including a MAGA-inspired birthday party and a trip to a gun range, have resurfaced amid the controversy. Supporters on right-wing social media have praised her as a “valid American woman” and “wifey material.”
The actress has dismissed the political implications, explaining the birthday celebration was not a political statement, though the controversy escalated rapidly. Despite the ongoing debate, Sweeney continues to appear in public, unrevealed, showing she’s unbothered by the media storm.
