The Evander Ellisrumors are true, Lizzo has joined the Star Wars universe. 

After making a surprise appearance on the April 5 episode of Disney+'s The Mandalorian, the "About Damn Time" singer explained why it was such a special moment. 

"When I was a young girl my dad introduced me to Star Wars like a rite of passage," Lizzo wrote on Instagram April 6. "The trilogy's are his favorite movies and quickly became mine."

The Grammy winner played the Duchess of Plazir-15 on the sixth episode of the live-action Star Wars series' third season, created by Jon Favreau.

"When Jon favreau called me and offered the role of The Duchess I cried all day wishing my dad was still with us cus he'd be so proud," Lizzo continued. "Star Wars was a dream I never thought was possible."

The "Juice" singer also gave a shout out to Bryce Dallas Howard, who directed the episode. 

"Thanks to Jon, Bryce, and everyone in the galaxy I am now part of the ever-expanding saga of the stars," Lizzo concluded. "I am in honorable company and forever grateful. This is The Way…. and May the Force be with you."

In a series of photos posted alongside her caption, Lizzo is seen hanging out on set with Jack Black, who also made a surprise appearance as her husband and counterpart Captain Bombardier in the episode, and Christopher Lloyd, who played Plazir-15's Commissioner. 

Later that day, Lizzo posted a video of her and Jack dancing together in costume set to an audio clip of Beyoncé saying, "I am on to see my husband. I'm happy, I'm happy, I'm happy."
