SZA Tour Stops
SZA and Kendrick Lamar kicked off the "Grand National" tour last month. They're scheduled to perform in cities in the United States and Canada before wrapping up the North American leg of the tour in June. This will include shows in cities like Dallas, Seattle, Los Angeles, Detroit, and many others. After that, they'll embark on the European leg of the tour in July with stops in Cologne, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, and more.
During an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show in March, SZA opened up about what it's like performing alongside Kendrick. According to her, she's learned a ton. “I get to pick different tips and watch how he carries himself, how he emotes,” she revealed. “To watch him perform is to witness something magical.”
"One time he gave me the pointer of pretending to watch myself from above,” she also added. “He sees himself while he’s performing, and it actually changed a lot for me. It was weird, when I was watching myself from afar, I was like, ‘This not what I want to see, I want to see something different. I want to turn up.’ Then I just started, like, invoking a completely different energy and spirit within myself.”
