R&B star SZA won the Grammy for Best R&B Song on Sunday night for her hit single “Snooze,” but she was busy backstage when fellow musician Lizzo announced her victory.
SZA rushed to the stage to accept the award while holding her phone before giving Lizzo a big hug and delivering a delightful acceptance speech.
You just never know exactly when your name is going to be called at an awards show like this, and this was an incredibly relatable moment with one of the Grammys’ top-nominated artists this year.
We’re glad she made it out from backstage just in time to accept this very well-deserved honor.

What a fantastic moment for SZA and for all the viewers at home.
SZA’s acclaimed album SOS was nominated for Album of the Year among other honors, so it was very plausible that the R&B singer would return to the stage to accept yet another Grammy.
