In August 2019, the Star Tribune featured Landmark Creations' pivotal role in Lizzo's memorable MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) performance.

The Burnsville-based company designed and manufactured the iconic 12-foot-tall, 25-foot-wide inflatable butt that danced alongside Lizzo during her renditions of "Truth Hurts" and "Good As Hell." This collaboration, initiated just two weeks before the event, showcased Landmark Creations' ability to deliver high-quality, custom inflatables under tight deadlines. Their extensive portfolio includes projects for artists like Florida Georgia Line, Ariana Grande, Katy Perry, and Demi Lovato, underscoring their reputation in the entertainment industry.
