SZA Shows Off Stunning Fit & Body For Atlanta Show

by

SZA wowed fans with a stunning fit that showed off her body for her recent show in Atlanta. Moreover, her tour faced a bit of hiccups along the way, but still remains an overwhelming success for the SOS star. For this recent show, she donned a full dress with another body on it and behind it, with varying shades of blue, yellow, and red. It’s quite the colorful and stylish look, with even Cardi B complimenting her body on Instagram. In fact, the “WAP” hitmaker showed SZA some love just a couple of days after popping out at one of her shows.

Also, the “Kill Bill” singer took to Instagram to thank ATL and clear up some confusion around her Philly show. “Atlanta owes me NOTHING !” the 33-year-old captioned a recap post of the show. “Only 9 more shows left to go ! thank you so much SOS tour #SOLDOUT I ain’t even know the music cut off [crying emoji].” That last comment refers to her audio cutting out during her performance of “Love Galore,” but the crowd still screamed and sang along, keeping the energy up.

SZA’s Fit Has Her Looking Fit For Atlanta Show

“Philly the concert is gonna be THIS YEAR not 2025,” she added in the comments. “lol the date is already settled I dunno why Ticketmaster sent that !” Even with those small bumps in the road, everyone seems to be loving the TDE artist’s latest live outings. For example, at this recent Atlanta show, Yung Miami was one of a few stars who went to enjoy the spectacle. Furthermore, fans spotted the City Girl dancing along to her performance, where even the slowest song becomes a banger with the rest of the crowd pouring their heart out.

Meanwhile, success just seems to build, and build, and build commercially for SZA’s latest album. SOS recently spent its tenth week atop the Billboard 200 chart, a remarkable feat for any artist. Considering the near-six-year gap in between this album and Ctrl, its longevity isn’t surprising, but nevertheless impressive. After all, when fans wait over five years for something and it’s this good, how could they not make up for lost time? Regardless, as always, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on SZA.

SZA is currently continuing her massive SOS tour — and is clearly bringing along some surprises in different cities. During the first night of her two performances at NYC’s Madison Square Garden, she was joined by Cardi B for “I Do” and Phoebe Bridgers for “Ghost In The Machine.”

During her March 7 concert in Atlanta, SZA treated fans to an appearance from Summer Walker. The duo performed “No Love,” their 2021 collaboration from Walker’s album, Still Over It.

“Take this opportunity to learn from my mistakes,” Walker shared about the song in an Apple Music interview, via Voir. “You don’t have to guess if something is love. Love is shown through actions. Stop making excuses for people who don’t show up for you. Don’t ignore the red flags. And don’t think you have to stay somewhere ’cause you can’t find better — you can and you will. Don’t settle for less — you don’t deserve it and neither does your family.”

Fans were instantly loving the fact that SZA keeps bringing out her collaborators on tour, especially Walker.

“This song is so good and the fact that they’re both on it makes it even better,” one fan replied.

“I would have simply passed away if I was there,” another added.

Check out the video of SZA and Walker performing “No Love” above. Below, find some additional fan reactions.

SZA, Crocs, And The Triumphant Return Of Y2K

by

Did you ever sit back, look at your feet and think… “How do I make these feet look more Y2K?” Okay maybe not. I understand it’s a bit of a random thought to have, but leave it to the reigning queen of Top Dawg Entertainment to be able to predict that the future was going to be all about the past. Sza x Crocs came together in a legendary collaboration a few months ago to create two signature style ways that look like they came straight from the dawn of the 2000s.

Fashion is cyclical. As time goes forward, we watch as the new generation of consumers with expendable income longs for the nostalgia of the past – and the 2020s are no different. The millennials and Gen Z’ers are longing for the simpler times. The times where all we had to worry about was if our Tamagotchi was alive in between classes, and whether or not the entire computer network grid was going to catastrophically crash at the stroke of the millenia. Sza x Crocs have tapped into that nostalgia with their latest creations.

Now by this time, you may be asking yourself “what do Y2K feet look like exactly” and before we just drop the imagery, we want to try to paint the picture.

Introducing: The Sza X Crocs Collab

The Sza x Croc collab looks like they belonged on the feet of Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears as the then couple walked the red carpet of the MTV awards. Does that help? The infamous pair wore even more infamous – and matching – outfits. Are you starting to get the vision? In 2001 JT and Britney made one hell of a statement by showing up in head-to-toe denim suits adorned in Swarovski crystals and acid wash.

The Texas Tuxedo. The Dynamic Duo. Whatever you wanted to call it, denim on denim on denim was the vibes back then, and Sza is grabbing the Delorean and taking us back in time. Available in the traditional clog style is the “Crush” but with a platform style heel for added oomph, or in a dual-strap “Cozzzy” Birkenstock-esque buckle slide version. Both come with ultra soft, faux fur lining for a little added luxury and comfort.

As is tradition with Crocs, the Sza collab also features a collection of Jibbitz (you know, the little charms that you can stick on top for added flair) that come in iconic Y2K styles. Floppy disks, flip phones, puka shells, and macaroni noodles among others.

With the collection coming out a bit before her last album dropped, they’ve been sold out since before they came out, and remain sold out on the official Crocs website. Calling around to local shoe stores in the area that carried Crocs proved the same. They’re near impossible to get your hands on, and your best bet for trying to score a pair is off a website like StockX or Poshmark. Due to the high demand, it’s almost a guarantee that resellers are going to double the original asking price ($75 and $80 respectively).

Who Is Crocs going to collaborate with next?

The recent collaboration marks the second one that Sza x Crocs have embarked on, and considering the success, I can only imagine more will be on the horizon. Crocs has managed to come out of the proverbial mud and transform themselves from a clunky garden shoe meant for digging in the dirt into a high-profile streetwear brand in a way that is almost mind boggling. Not only does their list of artists’ collabs continue to grow, but it manages to cross boundaries and genres to find a place for any and everyone.

From musical powerhouses like Bad Bunny, Sza, Diplo, Post Malone, and Justin Bieber; to high-end fashion houses like Balenciaga, Takashi Murakami and Barney’s New York, the choices Crocs seem to make on their partnerships don’t miss. Each iteration has not only immediately sold out upon release, but has required a lottery system just to get the chance to purchase them.

Like most anomalies in streetwear, the exponentially growing success of Crocs may have a plateau – but at the moment, it seems like the sky’s the limit.

Last month, SZA and featured opening act Omar Apollo kicked off the North American wing of the former’s SOS Tour. Following its opening, the singer took to social media to share that will she was excited by the crowd’s reception of the show. However as the tour progresses, the setlist will change to give her creative control.

Although SZA ended up postponing her Philadelphia show, she was sure to give twice as much energy during the first night of her shows in New York City. Not only did she bring out her latest musical bestie Phoebe Bridgers for a surprise performance of their song, “Ghost In The Machine,” she also called on hometown rapper Cardi B to join her on stage as well.

Performing their collaborative track, “I Do,” off of Cardi B’s Grammy-Award-winning debut album, Invasion Of Privacy, the arena went crazy. The pair have performed the song together in the past, most notably at Coachella in 2018, but as SZA’s star continues to rise, this moment meant a lot to the songwriter.

After the two performed, SZA took a moment to thank Cardi B for coming out, saying, “This queen is so kind to even take the time with two children and a bajillion dollar career to come here…thank you so f*cking much.”

Cardi B didn’t want the party to stop there, asking the crowd, “Should we get ratchet?” Then the DJ went on to play “Tomorrow 2,” in which Cardi is featured.

SZA’s praise of Cardi B continued on Instagram, where she continued to thank her for making a guest appearance.

Phoebe Bridgers Made A Suprise Appearance At SZA’s New York Concert To Perform ‘Ghost In The Machine’

SZA is pulling out all the stops on her SOS tour. Tonight (March 4), she performed the first of two New York City shows at Madison Square Garden. During her tour, a special guest made a surprise appearance on stage.

In a clip shared by The Hollywood Reporter, SZA brought out Phoebe Bridgers for a performance of “Ghost In The Machine” from SZA’s sophomore album, SOS. Surprising the audience, Bridgers performed her verse of their collab, alongside SZA.

Tonight marks the first time Bridgers and SZA have performed the song live together.

In an interview with NME, Bridgers revealed how the collaboration came together just days before SOS was supposed to drop.

“She just hit me up. She just sent me a DM, and then it all happened so fast,” said Bridgers. “I wasn’t really used to that in that pop world, because vinyl isn’t so much of a consideration until way later. It’s just like, ‘Do you want to be on this record? OK, it’s out next week.’ It was so recent, which I really like. I like that turnaround time. Personally, I sit on stuff for so long and it takes me years to make albums. I like seeing someone else’s world from that angle.”

SZA Postpones Philly Show, Headliner Omar Apollo Still Performs

by

On February 21st, SZA commenced her SOS Tour, so far hitting seven cities including Boston, Chicago, and Denver. The Grammy Award winner was set to perform in Philidelphia on Thursday (March 2) but unexpectedly postponed the show the morning of. SZA, who just accepted the 2023 Woman of the Year award at the Billboard Women In Music event the night prior, was expected to travel from Los Angeles for her Thursday performance. Although the reason for cancellation is uncertain, it is likely due to issues that occurred on her cross-country trip.

The show was supposed to be held at the Wells Fargo Center in Philly. The venue took to Twitter Thursday morning to announce the abrupt change in plans. “The SZA performance scheduled for today at Wells Fargo Center is postponed,” the tweet read, “fans are encouraged to hold onto their tickets for the rescheduled date to be announced shortly. All tickets will be honored.” The 33-year-old singer also took to the platform to issue her own apology, writing “Phillyyyy I REALLY wanted to see you tonight but due to unforeseen logistical/ production issues we’re FORCED to reschedule.”

Despite SZA’s Cancellation, The Show Goes On

Headlining for SZA during the SOS Tour is 25-year-old singer Omar Apollo. Fusing together R&B and pop, Apollo especially gained recognition in hip-hop for his track “Evergreen.” The song was included on his debut studio album, Ivory, which dropped in April 2022. Additionally, the artist earned additional recognition last month for receiving his first Grammy nomination. Needless to say, Apollo achieved a successful year of career growth, similar to SZA’s gains with her sophomore album.

Although the tour’s Philly performance has been canceled, Apollo has found a way to make the show go on. He announced a “secret show” in New York City, which would replace the original set that would have been happening just a few hours away. Immediately, his impromptu concert, which was set at Irving Plaza, sold out of tickets. But, fans are still awaiting the new dates for SZA’s Philly show. As of now, she is set to perform a two-night run at Madison Square Garden on March 4th and 5th. For more news on hip-hop and pop culture, be sure to check out HNHH.

SZA Just Postponed A Philadelphia Concert, But That Won’t Stop Opener Omar Apollo From Putting On A Show Anyway

SZA’s SOS tour has been off to a great start so far. However, it appears it has hit a sudden bump in the road, as her Philadelphia show for tonight (March 2) was postponed for a later date, according to a new announcement from the Wells Fargo Center venue.

“The SZA performance scheduled for today at Wells Fargo Center is postponed,” they posted. “Fans are encouraged to hold onto their tickets for the rescheduled date to be announced shortly. All tickets will be honored.”

Because of this, her tour opener, Omar Apollo, revealed he was doing a new “secret show” in NYC instead as a solo act. Tickets for his concert at Irving Plaza promptly sold out. Apollo is expected to take the stage after doors open at 8:30pm.

As some fans on social media have pointed out, the line for his one-night-only show is also seemingly already piling up, with a photo posted about an hour ago.

Yesterday, she attended Billboard‘s Women In Music event in Los Angeles, as she was the recipient of Woman Of The Year — so it’s possible the time and distance could have caused the delay.

SZA’s tour will presumably continue with the next scheduled tour dates, which is a two-night run at Madison Square Garden this Saturday (March 4) and Sunday (March 5). More information on her upcoming concerts is available here.

“Snooze” Co-Writer Babyface Says He Has More Songs With SZA

by

In March 2021, SZA shocked her fanbase with a tweet regarding R&B legend Babyface. The record-breaking vocalist shared a text message inviting her to the studio with the celebrated musician, to which she happily obliged. We now get to get a chance to hear what came out of the session with “Snooze,” which he helped pen and co-produce. The track appears on SZA’s Billboard 200’s No. 1 SOS, where it’s been perched for ten weeks straight. Billboard also listed her as their 2023 Woman of the Year, which they honored her with during their Women in Music Awards yesterday (March 1).

In a new interview with Rap Radar, Babyface confirms there are still three collaborations in the chamber. ”There are still two songs,” he tells Elliot Wilson and B. Dot. “And there’s another song that exists—I won’t say the title-but I hope that she will finish it.” Though he refused to expound further, Babyface did mention a track entitled “Brianna’s Way” in the two-minute clip. Thorough research revealed no mention of the song online, and SZA has yet to comment on her musical endeavors with the 63-year-old songwriter. She did, however, allude to a possible collaboration with singer Miley Cyrus earlier this year.

Babyface Praises SZA And Alludes To Other Songs

Prior to the unreleased music news, Babyface revealed SZA was set to appear on his 2022 album Girls Night Out. The groove-heavy LP spotlights R&B’s leading ladies, including Ella Mai, Ari Lennox, and Muni Long. One can only assume SZA’s presence on the project would have been highly received, as well. “Maybe she’ll grace us with that one day, with a deluxe album or something,” Babyface adds.

Further along, Babyface goes on to praise the Grammy-winning songstress despite her musical insecurities. ”I don’t think she has any idea how incredible she is, and how talented she is,” he shares. He then calls SZA “one of the best” musicians he’s ever seen, an incredible compliment coming from a person who’s worked with Toni Braxton, Mary J. Bilge, and the late Whitney Houston. The “Kill Bill” songstress is currently on her 17-city SOS Tour alongside Omar Apollo, which ends later this month.
