Over the weekend, queen Lizzo put on a fierce AF, mermaid-esque outfit to perform at the Songwriters Hall Of Fame ceremony and after seeing her villainous lewk, fans reckon she should be cast as Ursula in the upcoming The Little Mermaid live-action film.
We're not sure WHY she dressed so Ursula-esque for the ceremony, where she was asked to present an award to her idol Missy Elliott, but we're totally into this alternate universe evil Lizzo.
And the best part? She's retweeting all her fans' calls for the casting, so it seems Lizzo is down for this too. She's already set to star in the animated film UglyDolls alongside Kelly Clarkson, Charli XCX and Janelle Monae and Hustlers alongside Cardi B and Jennifer Lopez.
Disney's The Little Mermaid is set to start filming in 2020, another film in their recent plan to update all the Disney classics such as Aladdin and The Lion King in live-action. Rumours are swirling that Zendaya will be playing Ariel, while others reckon Lady Gaga will be tapped for Ursula.
