SZA almost stumbled during her Grand National Tour performance in Minneapolis, but quickly regained her composure.
SZA almost suffered a major onstage mishap during the opening night of her Grand National Tour with Kendrick Lamar in Minneapolis on Saturday. Performing her hit track Diamond Boy (DTM) from her 2024 album Lana, the 35-year-old singer was seen attempting a daring choreography move that nearly led to a fall.
The near-miss happened when SZA, engaged in a complex dance sequence with one of her backup dancers, attempted to drape her leg over the dancer’s thigh. As she lifted her leg, the dancer lost their balance, causing both to stumble dangerously. In a split second, SZA found herself leaning into the move, her arm wrapped around the dancer’s shoulder, and for a brief moment, it seemed she might lose her footing and fall to the stage.
However, quick on her feet, SZA took a step forward, catching herself just before disaster struck. With a swift recovery, she composed herself and carried on as if nothing had happened, continuing the performance with confidence and poise. The entire incident was captured on video and quickly went viral, with fans expressing relief that SZA managed to avoid a serious fall, while also applauding her seamless recovery.
The singer has not commented on the near-mishap on social media as of now, though fans have been quick to praise her professionalism and grace under pressure. The incident only added to the excitement surrounding the start of SZA’s highly anticipated tour with Kendrick Lamar, which is drawing massive crowds to every stop.
The Grand National Tour is making its way across the U.S., with upcoming performances in major cities such as Houston, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Seattle, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Chicago, and Detroit. International fans can also look forward to dates in Germany, Spain, and Italy, where SZA and Lamar are expected to bring their high-energy performances to eager audiences.
Though the near-miss could have been a disaster, it speaks volumes about SZA’s professionalism and her ability to maintain composure in front of thousands of fans. Her fans are already calling her performance on opening night a success, with the brief slip-up only adding to her charm. As SZA and Lamar continue to thrill audiences across the globe, it’s clear that the Grand National Tour will be one for the books
