Lizzo Joyfully Playing a Cookie Flute on 'Sesame Street' is the Feel-Good Content We Didn't Know We Needed

When Lizzo comes on, I have to stop what I’m doing and dance. Let your hair down, scream-sing the lyrics, and have fun, mama! Who cares if you’re inching your way through the car drop-off line — we’re young and free and just a little bit wild when Lizzo is around. So when the “Truth Hurts” singer made an epic appearance on Sesame Street this week, all we could think was: it’s about damn time!

“The one and only cookie flute for the one and only, @lizzo! Your furry friends love you! ” the official Sesame Street Twitter account posted on Feb. 22. Wait, what — a cookie flute?! Yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like … and so cute!

Lizzo has embraced her Sesame Street era, wearing a colorful dress covered in shapes — perfectly on theme for the beloved preschool show. She’s wearing bold pink eyeshadow and her long hair is up in a ponytail. In the video, Elmo presents her with an epic flute made out of a chocolate chip cookie!

“This is it, Elmo?” Lizzo asks, admiring the delicious instrument. She adds, “I’ve played a lot of instruments, but I’ve never played a cookie before!” Then she brings it up to her lips and the most beautiful, happy sound comes out. For a second, we get lost in the joyful melody — even Elmo seems a little out-of-sorts in the presence of this Grammy winner.

But then, Cookie Monster comes in, and, well, things get a little chaotic. You can also check out this short and sweet video on YouTube here!

Elmo and Lizzo then had a sweet interaction on Twitter.

Elmo retweeted the Sesame Street video, writing, “One day, Elmo wants to play the flute just like Ms. Lizzo! Elmo loves you, @lizzo” She responded, “Ms. Lizzo loves you too, @elmo !!!” So sweet!

Lizzo also gave Elmo a gift during her apperance, which she shared on Twitter. “Guess what isn’t a big word for @elmo anymore…..?! #balsamicvinegar.”

“Even old as hell, I love me some damn Elmo! Cuties!” one person commented. “I would like a whole movie starring Elmo and Miss Lizzo please,” another said. Sesame Street, are you listening? This is the content parents deserve!
