\"To anyone who is not sure if 'Sister Act' still works – just saying,\" Goldberg continued referencing Lizzo's tribute. \"It was part of folks growing up.\"

Lizzo, 31, was 5 when \"Sister Act 2\" hit theaters. She tweeted in November 2018 that she used to \"hate\" the sound of her own voice because she \"thought it annoyed people and my family.\"

\"Well girl, they all know now. No problem with the voice. No problem at all,\" Goldberg said in response to her 2018 tweet compared to her 2019 MTV awards performance. \"If you are coming to New York, Lizzo, come on over and hang with us a little bit at 'The View.' We would love to have you.\"

Lizzo reacted to her shout out on Twitter. \"THIS IS A CHILDHOOD DREAM COME TRUE,\" she tweeted Wednesday afternoon.
