Lizzo is a one-of-a-kind talent: She sings, raps and is a trained flutist. The “About Damn Time” singer performed at the Capitol One Arena in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday. And while she was on stage, she played a tune from a crystal flute that’s apparently more than two centuries old.
During her concert performance, the 34-year-old singer pulled out the historical instrument that once belonged to United States President James Madison and gave it a whirl.
According to the Library of Congress website, the crystal flute (crafted by Parisian mechanic Claude Laurent) was gifted to Madison during his second inauguration in March of 1813.
