SZA Opens Up About Tour and Sesame Street
Kimmel asked if her tour would look anything simiilar to the Kendrick Lamar Super Bowl Halftime Show. “Oh, we’re doing a new thing,” said SZA. “We’re both just kind of throwing all the paint at the wall… This is our first stadium show for both of us, so we pretty much have to go insane.”
SZA later discusses Lamar and his insane capabilities. She referenced that he's a "wizard" in his own right. “Wizards tend to be solitary beings, from my observation… I think he’s doing the Merlin thing backstage, getting us ready to take off.”
As the tour and Super Bowl performances were already great ways to celerbate 2025, SZA also got to make a guest appaerance on Sesame Street. She referenced the appearance on Kimmel and how excited she was to make it on Sesame Street.
“That was actually the most intense room of celebrities I’ve ever been in,” she stated. “Elmo, Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch… I got to talk to Cookie Monster.”
