At the 2024 Grammy Awards, singer-songwriter SZA had an unforgettable experience. While she may have been too starstruck to approach the legendary Beyoncé, she did have a moment with Beyoncé's husband, JAY-Z. SZA expressed her admiration for both artists, describing Beyoncé as a masterclass in poise, grace, artistry, beauty, and kindness.
SZA admitted feeling scared to approach Beyoncé, not wanting to bother her. She was captivated by Beyoncé's peaceful and beautiful presence from afar. However, she was grateful that JAY-Z spoke to her, calling him her 'all-time favorite.' Meeting one of her favorite rappers was a surreal experience for her, as she confessed to being a JAY-Z stan.
While she didn't get a chance to meet Beyoncé, SZA did receive recognition for her talent at the awards ceremony. She won three awards, including Best Urban Contemporary Album for SOS, Best Pop Duo/Group Performance with Phoebe Bridgers for 'Ghosts in the Machine,' and Best R&B Song for 'Snooze.' Her outstanding performances led to a total of six nominations, making her the most-nominated artist at the 2024 Grammys.

She expressed disbelief at how far she had come in her career and the surreal feeling of her achievements. It was evident that this recognition meant a lot to her, and she couldn't contain her emotions.
SZA's Grammy performance was nothing short of spectacular. She wowed the audience with renditions of her Grammy-nominated hits, 'Snooze' and 'Kill Bill.'
