Lizzo shared a heartwarming video of a special surprise she gave her mom for her birthday.

On Friday, the "Rumors" singer shared an emotional video of her mother, Shari Johnson-Jefferson, stepping into a massive walk-in closet and breaking down in tears when she realizes everything inside belongs to her.

Johnson-Jefferson looks around the closet in awe -- taking stock of the suits, dresses, sweaters, coats, bags and heels neatly laid out -- before her daughter announces, "You like these clothes? These are your clothes!"

Lizzo, 33, captures the moment realization hitting her mother's face -- who grins broadly before becoming overwhelmed by emotion.

The two then exchange a sweet hug before jump cutting to a little fashion show, with Johnson-Jefferson rocking a silk blouse, colorful bag and new jeans.

The video ends with Lizzo's mom tousling her hair in the sunlight and strutting in slow motion toward the camera.

Lizzo credited celebrity stylist Jason Rembert for giving her mom the hookup and shouted him out in the video's description.

This isn't the first time the "Truth Hurts" rapper spoiled her mother. For Christmas, she splurged on a brand new Audi SUV for her mom and shared the sweet reaction video to Instagram as well.
