Justin Bieber Surprises Fans in Rare Live Stage Performance With SZA at SoFi Stadium: Watch

On May 23rd, during the second Los Angeles concert of Kendrick Lamar’s Grand National Tour, the audience was in for a special treat as Justin Bieber unexpectedly joined forces with SZA on stage. They performed their popular collaboration “Snooze,” and Bieber’s impromptu appearance sent shivers through the crowd. This performance from the pop sensation was quite unusual, making it a memorable moment for all.

Wearing a complete black outfit, with a Balenciaga jacket on top, Bieber teamed up with SZA under the illumination of SoFi Stadium. They exchanged verses and melodious harmonies on their heartfelt song “Snooze.” The connection between them was evident, as they danced together and exchanged some playful gestures – including Bieber repeatedly kissing SZA’s hand – to the enjoyment of the crowd.

Initially, they worked together on the acoustic version of “Snooze” for SZA’s Grammy-nominated album SOS. In addition to that, Bieber appeared in the music video for the song in 2023, featuring Young Mazino, Woody McClain, and Benny Blanco.

Before this recent show, Bieber last performed for a stadium audience during Tems and Wizkid’s set at Coachella 2024, where he sang the remix of “Essence.” Since then, his public appearances have been rare, causing fans to worry about his health as he ended the Justice world tour abruptly. Additionally, rumors suggest that he’s facing financial difficulties due to his break from releasing new solo songs.

On the opening night at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, during the tour’s run here, SZA surprised her audience by inviting Lizzo for a live performance of their “Special” remix. The Grand National Tour, having commenced on April 19 in Minneapolis, is now preparing for its third and concluding L.A. show this Saturday night before moving on to Glendale, Arizona.

Bieber teaming up with SZA was not just a delight for fans; it suggested a promising indication of Bieber’s comeback to the stage. As the Grand National Tour progresses, this unforeseen collaboration delivered an electrifying burst of stardom and emotion, serving as a reminder of the enchanting energy that live music and surprise appearances can generate.
