Lizzo makes history playing 200-year crystal flute, once owned by former US President James Madison


Lizzo made history by becoming the first person to play a 200-year-old crystal flute, once owned by former US President James Madison, during her concert in Washington DC on Tuesday.
The US singer and trained flautist was granted permission by The Library of Congress to play the instrument, which arrived on stage with a police escort.
Inspecting it on stage, she said: “It’s like playing out of a wine glass.”
The star then played a few notes while simultaneously shaking her lower body.
“I just twerked and played James Madison’s flute from the 1800s!” she beamed, after having handed it back to a representative who put it back in its case.
