MINNESOTA, USA — Grammy award winner Lizzo says having a Minnesotan snowplow named after her is the highest honor she's ever been given. 

The singer posted a video on Twitter celebrating the announcement.


Following a gasp, Lizzo says "I just heard that I have won the "Name A Snowplow" competition in Minnesota,"

"Of all the awards I've received, this, by far is the highest honor," the singer said. "To know that there is a snowplow named Blizzo that is clearing the streets of the Twin Cities right now makes my heart melt... or freeze!"

The snowplow named after her, "Blizzo", was one of eight newly named snowplows servicing the state. Lizzo also gave a big shout-out to Osseo Middle School, whose students were reportedly responsible for submitting her name to MnDOT contest organizers. 

"I love you Twin Cities!," the Grammy-winner superstar exclaimed, closing out her video post with a loud smooching sound. "Stay freezing!" 

MnDot received thousands of submissions and ended up selecting just eight winners.
