Landmark Creations' Inflatable Art Shines in Lizzo's VMA Performance

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.

What Others Say About Landmark Creations

"I was especially impressed with your ability to turn around such excellent work on very short notice, and at a fair price."

- R. Stever-Zeitlin, General Mills

"Just wanted to say how much we LOVE our inflatables. We tested them in our lobby where they were, of course, an instant hit for school group photos. Our leadership was quite pleased with the durability and the realism."

- Mike Hennessy, Carnegie Science Center

"[Our inflatable tunnel has] increased players & parents enthusiasm and recognition in the league for having a good program."

- W. Forrestal, Apex Sports Authority

"[There was] fun, excitement, and encouragement for everyone to actually walk under/through [the arch] and it worked. We have cheerleaders and small children at the finish line by the arch handing out stickers, saying ‘I did it.’ Before we had the arch, [people] would straggle in anywhere."

- Jackie Allen, March of Dimes

"Landmark Creations has been our go-to supplier for 15 years. Tom and his team are people we count on to make our products look good."

- J. Doyle, Scenery First

"Our tunnel was also a great addition to our pre-game tradition: the Wildcat walk. Our city shuts down three blocks of downtown, and we have hundreds of fans lining the streets with a police escort, while we walk to the stadium."

- Sam Baker, Head Football Coach at Waconia High School
