Maybe the single thing Lizzo has in common with Mayor Pete Buttigieg is the fact that both of them have featured prominently in headlines recently.

As the pool of candidates for the 2020 Presidential Election narrows and narrows, things are looking up for prospective Democratic nominee Buttigieg. Whether or not 2020 ends up being his year is still unknown, but Lizzo undoubtedly owned 2019: The rapper/singer/flautist trifecta is the most-nominated Grammy artist this year, and she was just named TIME'S Entertainer Of the Year. What could go wrong in putting the two together on "CBS This Morning?"

Well, nothing went wrong, per se, but the on-screen interactions were just as awkward as one might expect. When co-host Gayle King asked each guest to describe themselves in three words, Lizzo said, "glamorous, talented, and bootyful." Buttigieg's dorky (but, technically, very correct) response: "standing near Lizzo." Those Rhodes Scholars sure are extra spatially aware!

Mayor Pete might be more of an indie rock guy, but that doesn't mean he isn't still tuned in to the year's most ubiquitous No. 1 singles. King tested his lyrical knowledge, asking if he'd taken a DNA test lately. You know, questions you ask people you just met. "Yes, and I am 100 percent that nominee," Buttigieg assured with a discerning amount of confidence, referencing Lizzo's big hit "Truth Hurts."

And of course, the unlikely pair posed for a photo before their respective interviews. Buttigieg looks like he's feeling great—good as hell, if you will—while Lizzo looks like she'd rather be just about anywhere else. She hasn't formally declared which candidate she's rooting for yet, but she's said her ideal president "for damn sure isn't Trump." From her glazed stare, it looks like Buttigieg might be on her blacklist, too.
