SZA & Lizzo Turn SoFi Stadium Into Unforgettable “Baby’s First Stadium” Bash
Hold onto your iced lattes, because I’m bouncing off the walls about this one—SZA just flipped the script on stadium shows in Los Angeles! During the second night of her SOS Tour stop at SoFi Stadium on June 15, the “Kill Bill” hitmaker delivered a jaw-dropping surprise by summoning none other than Lizzo for a spontaneous duet that had 70,000 fans losing their minds. According to People Magazine, as soon as the opening riff of Lizzo’s anthem “Special” rang out, the arena exploded—SZA whispered “BABY’S FIRST STADIUM!” into the mic and the rest was pure magic.
Picture this: SZA, draped in a glittering custom jumpsuit, starts belting her chart-topping “Snooze,” and just as the crowd catches their breath, Lizzo sashay-walks onto the stage in a sequin corset, flute in hand. Billboard reports they traded verses on “Special,” then pivoted to a soulful mash-up of SZA’s “Shirt” with Lizzo’s iconic “Good as Hell.” Spoiler: the confetti canons went off so hard I’m pretty sure I tasted metallic shimmer on my tongue (and yes, a spilled Starbucks latte was involved—apologies to the friend beside me).
Fans on X (formerly Twitter) flooded the timeline with clips of SZA hype-dancing behind Lizzo’s flute solo, tagging it #BabysFirstStadium and #SOSTourMagic. Variety noted that this cameo marks Lizzo’s first-ever appearance on someone else’s headlining tour—talk about friendship goals! SZA even paused mid-song to gush, “I’ve dreamed of this night forever,” earning cheers that practically shook the stadium roof.
Between the heart-stopping beats and the sisterhood energy, social media blew up faster than you can say “extra espresso.” One TikTok user pointed out how the duo’s chemistry reminded them of late-night talk show vibes, only on a colossal arena scale. And don’t even get me started on the fan-shot slow-mo of Lizzo’s glitter spray mid-riff expose—literal firework moment!
This surprise collab not only turned SZA’s third SOS Tour stop into an instant pop-culture landmark but also cemented her status as a stadium-ready superstar. According to an exclusive snap from Lizzo’s Instagram Story, the pair wrapped with a cheeky mic drop and a promise to bring this moment back to the Bay Area. I’m still trying to process all that girl power glittering under those SoFi lights.
Whew, I think I need another double-shot latte to calm down after that spectacle. I swear, I could talk about this all day.
