SZA<\/a> fans became Beliebers on Friday night when Justin Bieber<\/a> joined the five-time Grammy winner on stage in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sold-out crowd erupted when the pop star appeared alongside SZA at the SoFi Stadium for a surprise performance of their 2023 collaboration, “Snooze.” Both singers wore all black for the duet, which found SZA cupping Bieber’s chin and the “Love Yourself” singer responding by planting kisses on her hand, then executing a twirl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crowd’s cheers intensified as the pair capped their performance with a hug and slowly disappeared courtesy of a slow-moving lift that lowered them from the stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bieber popped up as one of SZA’s love interests in the 2023 music video<\/a> for “Snooze” \u2014 which also featured Young Mazino, Woody McClain, and Benny Blanco \u2014 and sang on an acoustic remix of the track, contributing background vocals and replacing SZA as the main vocalist for its second verse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bieber joined SZA for the second of her three shows at SoFi as part of her Grand National Tour. The singer is co-headlining the stadium-only tour with rapper \u2014 and recent\u00a0Super Bowl halftime performer<\/a>\u00a0\u2014\u00a0Kendrick Lamar<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday\u2019s appearance marks the first time Bieber has performed in a stadium show since Coachella 2024<\/a>, where he surprised fans to sing with Tems and Wizkid on their 2020 hit “Essence.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bieber\u00a0scrapped his planned\u00a0Purpose<\/em>\u00a0world tour<\/a>\u00a0in 2017 but returned to the road in 2022 for the\u00a0Justice\u00a0<\/em>World Tour in support of his last studio album,\u00a0Justice<\/em>, which he released the year before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SZA’s\u00a0Grand National Tour<\/a>\u00a0runs through August 9 and features stops in Las Vegas, Chicago, and Detroit before the singer heads overseas for shows in Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SZA fans became Beliebers on Friday night when Justin Bieber joined the five-time Grammy winner on stage in Los Angeles.
