The “Truth Hurts” hitmaker rocked a pair of tight denim shorts for the teaser clip, in which she mentioned the 27-year-old actress following her jean ad that some critics claimed was full-on Nazi propaganda.
“No kizzy / He ain’t got no business being with me,” Lizzo raps on the track. “Fat ass pretty face with the t–ties / Bitch, I got good jeans like I’m Sydney.”
“IM GOIN IN TILL OCTOBER 😤,” the singer captioned the video.
In the clip, the “Juice” singer wore a long platinum blonde wig and twerked up against a red Porsche.
Sweeney became the talk of the town after she was featured in an American Eagle ad for the brand’s fall denim campaign.
The “Anyone But You” actress sparked a “woke” uproar from social media users who objected to the “great jeans” wordplay that some interpret as having racial overtones.
The ad prompted intense public discussion since its launch, centering on advertisements that play with the phrase “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans.”
American Eagle has since responded to the discourse, issuing a public statement in which it doubled down on its creative choices.
“This campaign is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her narrative. We will continue to honor the unique ways everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence,” the company said. “Great jeans flatter everyone.”
The retailer emphasized that its focus remained on fashion rather than any other interpretation of its messaging.
The “White Lotus” actress, for her part, has remained silent throughout the debate.
It comes just days after President Trump weighed in on the ad, praising it as “fantastic” after finding out that Sweeney is a registered Republican voter.
“Oh, now I adore her ad … If Sydney Sweeney is registered, I think her ad is fantastic,” Trump said over the weekend.
