SZA and Justin Bieber Surprise Fans at Sofi Stadium
SZA had a surprise in store for fans at the Sofi Stadium on Friday evening, May 23: a special guest appearance by Justin Bieber. Bieber, who was in town for the second LA stop of Kendrick Lamar’s Grand National Tour, joined the five-time Grammy nominee on stage to perform her hit song "Snooze". The crowd was electrified by his presence, and the surprise appearance was met with audible excitement.
The Performance
Bieber took to the stage wearing an all-black outfit, complete with a Balenciaga jacket. After singing the chorus together, he showered SZA with affection, giving her several kisses on the hand. The two then danced together for the remainder of the song. The acoustic version of the track, which features Young Mazino, Woody McClain, and Benny Blanco, was a highlight of the performance.
Bieber’s Recent Activities
This appearance marked one of Bieber’s first public performances in a stadium-sized venue since his surprise appearance at Coachella 2024, where he performed the remix of "Essence" with Tems and Wizkid. The pop star has been taking care of his mental health in recent times, and has been dealing with financial pressure due to a break in his solo music production.
