TODAY Show host Hoda Kotb has shown fans that she is a really big fan of Lizzo.
So much so, her ‘aggressive’ moves shocked them during a live TV performance.
Lizzo performed a number of songs from her newly released album, including her smash hit “About Damn Time.”
Cameras cut to Hoda at one point dancing out in the crowd of people watching Lizzo on stage.
The show host starts snapping her fingers and rubbing her shoulders up against another fan.
Another camera shot shows Hoda jumping up and down getting into a heavy groove with four fans, holding out the microphone.

The Today Show twitter account posted a boomerang of Hoda’s dancing skills with the caption, “Our resident hype woman Hoda Kotb doing what she does best.”
One fan wrote: “Lord have mercy. I never knew Hoda can dance and move that way. You go girl.”
Another wrote: “Hoda should be careful. I hurt my back a few years ago when I tried to dance that way. My doctor told me I should know better.”

The upbeat display from the Today host comes after she announced she has separated from her fiance Joel Schiffman earlier this year.
The couple share daughters, Haley and Hope.
Speaking in March in a joint interview with her Today show co-host Savannah Guthrie, Hoda, 58, told Good Housekeeping: “I have some nights where I really messed up and I know I did.”
She added: “But then I talk to Savannah. [She’ll say], ‘That was my Wednesday.’ It makes you feel less alone.”
SUNNY DISPOSITION
Those comments came in an interview three months before The Sun exclusively revealed that anchors are reportedly are feuding behind the scenes.
A source close to production told The Sun that despite their sunny dispositions on-screen, the two women secretly “can’t stand each other.”
In the past few weeks, fans said they noticed some awkward tension during the live morning broadcast.
And on Friday fans said Savannah appeared to snap at Hoda and a guest on the show.
An insider told The Sun: “Savannah is the boss. After Matt Lauer was ousted, Savannah grabbed power, and she really wanted Willy Geist in Hoda’s role, but his ratings were just not up to par for the network.”
“Hoda out maneuvered Savannah and got the spot.”
Beyond that, the source added that Savannah “thinks of herself as a real news person,” while Hoda is seen as “the lightweight that drank wine with Kathy Lee Gifford.”

Hoda and Savannah made history as the first pair of women to co-anchor the Today show after decades on the air.
The Sun has contacted NBC for comment.
