Famous performers from around the world gathered in Los Angeles on Sunday night for the 2019 American Music Awards, celebrating the best artists of the year by giving them a clear, pointy stake.

Even so, it seems a shame to just carry around an empty purse, no matter how small it is. Fortunately, the internet quickly offered up a few ideas for what Lizzo might fit in there.
