SZA and Lizzo just gave fans something special during their joint world tour – the very first live performance of “IRL” right there in Paris. The moment hit different when Lizzo stepped onto the stage to join her friend SZA during the Grand National Tour’s Parisian stop, creating one of those unforgettable concert memories.
An Unexpected Stage Moment
Wednesday night brought surprises when Lizzo appeared alongside SZA to deliver “IRL” from SZA’s My Face Hurts From Smiling EP. Their chemistry was undeniable, and Lizzo couldn’t contain her excitement, posting a video on social media with the caption, “BAD BITCH… in REAL LIFEEEE @sza !!!!!” She threw in the hashtag #stadiumstatus, clearly feeling the energy of performing in such a massive venue.
The Real Deal: Their Friendship
Lizzo recently got candid about her connection with SZA, revealing she’s one of those rare people she can text at any hour – even those random 3 a.m. thoughts. Speaking with Billboard, Lizzo shared how SZA gets her on both personal and professional levels, something she doesn’t take lightly in an industry where genuine connections can be hard to find.
Not Their First Rodeo Together
This Paris performance marks the second time Lizzo has surprised audiences during the co-headlining tour with Kendrick Lamar. Their first collaboration happened last month in Los Angeles, where they took on “Special” together. Lizzo was clearly moved by that experience, calling it her “BABYS FIRST STADIUM PERFORMANCE” and giving SZA props as “THEE DIVA” on Instagram.
What’s Next on the Tour Trail
SZA and Kendrick Lamar’s tour keeps rolling with upcoming dates across Cardiff, London, Lisbon, and Barcelona throughout July. The European leg wraps up in Stockholm on August 9. SZA has been treating fans to surprise guest appearances along the way, bringing out artists like Kaytranada, Justin Bieber, and Doja Cat at various stops.
