Priscilla Devereaux|May 25, 2025
During SZA’s Grand National Tour stop at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on May 24, 2025, fans were treated to a surprise appearance by pop star Justin Bieber. Bieber joined SZA on stage to perform their 2023 collaboration “Snooze,” marking a rare live performance for the singer. The duo, dressed in matching black outfits, delivered a heartfelt rendition of the song, concluding with a warm embrace and a dramatic stage descent. Bieber’s appearance added a memorable highlight to the sold-out concert, which is part of a tour co-headlined by Kendrick Lamar. SZA’s tour continues through August 9, with upcoming shows in various U.S. cities and Europe.
The performance of “Snooze” was particularly significant as it marked the first time Bieber and SZA performed the song live together. The track, originally featured on SZA’s 2022 album “SOS,” gained popularity with an acoustic remix released in 2023, featuring Bieber. The song’s music video, which includes Bieber as one of SZA’s love interests, further cemented their collaboration in the public eye.
Bieber’s surprise appearance comes after a period of relative quiet in his music career. His last major live performance was at Coachella 2024. Fans have expressed concern over his well-being, citing his limited public appearances and social media activity. However, his energetic performance alongside SZA suggests a positive turn for the artist.
Hailey Bieber, Justin’s wife, was present at the concert and showed her support by sharing videos of the performance on her Instagram Stories, referring to Justin and SZA as her “2 favorite artists.” Her public display of support comes amidst ongoing speculation about the couple’s relationship, which both have addressed in various interviews and social media posts.
The Grand National Tour, co-headlined by Kendrick Lamar and SZA, has been a significant event in the music industry, featuring a blend of hip-hop and R&B performances. The tour, which began in April 2025, is set to conclude in August, with stops across North America and Europe. Bieber’s unexpected performance adds to the tour’s list of memorable moments, highlighting the dynamic nature of live concerts and the potential for surprise collaborations.
As the tour progresses, fans eagerly anticipate more unexpected appearances and collaborations, underscoring the excitement and unpredictability that live music events can offer.
