Apr 20, 2025

SZA has narrowly avoided an awkward on stage mishap during her show in Minneapolis.

During opening night of her highly anticipated Grand National Tour with Kendrick Lamar, the Saturn singer very nearly almost took a fall mid-performance.

During her song Diamond Boy (DTM), SZA was performing choreography with one of her backup dancers and things didn’t quite go as planned.

As the singer lifted her leg up, the dancer stumbled a little and nearly dropped her.

Thankfully, SZA reacted quickly, taking a step forward to rebalance and catch herself before falling onto the stage.

It only took a quick few beats before the Kill Bill singer and her dancers managed to recover and get the show back on track.

Lamar and SZA, who have collaborated on hits such as All The Stars and Luther, first announced their co-headlining Grand National Tour back in December 2024.

Ahead of the tours opening date, SZA told Jimmy Kimmel that the tour would be a “new thing” for both artists.

”We’re doing a fun thing. We’re both just kind of throwing all the paint at the wall,” she said.

“This is our first stadium show for both of us, so we pretty much have to go insane.”

The Grand National Tour sees SZA and Lamar performing in several major US cities including Houston, Seattle, Los Angeles, Chicago and Atlanta.

They are also going to be taking their show across the ditch, heading to Europe to perform in Germany, Italy, France and the UK among several other locations.
