SZA almost had an SOS.
The “Kill Bill” singer avoided a major tumble at the last minute while performing on stage in Minneapolis during opening night of her co-headlining tour with Kendrick Lamar.
In a video shared to X (formerly Twitter) from the April 19 concert, SZA attempted a move with one of her male backup dancers by wrapping her leg around his waist and putting her arm around her shoulder. But as her partner tried to spin her around, her leg got caught behind his, causing both of them to stumble while intertwined.
Luckily, the mishap didn’t lead to any major disasters, as before it could turn into a terrible fall SZA managed to untangle herself, and the pair continued on with the choreography for her song “Diamond Boy.”
Following the blunder, fans were impressed by the Grammy winner’s ability to stay calm under pressure.
“That recovery was smoother than most people’s entrances!” one X user commented on the clip, while another added, “Nice comeback!”
Others suspected she might not have been as unfazed about the glitch as she seemed. As one user pointed out, “The way she looked at him lmao.”
And while that dance move may not have worked out the way she planned, there were certainly plenty more surprises that SZA, 35, had in store for show.
In fact, the “Snooze” singer worked with Kendrick to make sure that their joint tour would be a totally different experience from their performance at the 2025 Super Bowl.
“We’re doing a fun thing,” SZA hinted during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in March, one month after taking the stage during the sporting event’s famed halftime show. “We’re both just kind of throwing all the paint at the wall.”
Noting that their Grand National Tour—which is set to make stops in cities including Houston, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Seattle, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Chicago and Detroit—is the “first stadium show for both of us,” she added, “We pretty much have to go insane.”
