SZA’s Grand National Tour nearly got off to a chaotic start when the singer almost took a fall during her opening night on Saturday. Having confirmed the tour, which the five-time Grammy winner is headlining with Kendrick Lamar, in December 2024, she kickstarted the concert series on April 19, 2025, at the U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. During her performance, the accredited musician almost lost her footing on the stage, causing fans on the internet to question what happened to her.
So, here’s everything you need to know regarding SZA’s near-fall experience during her ongoing Grand National Tour.
What happened to SZA on her 2025 Grand National Tour?
In a video posted online, which has since gone viral, SZA is seen performing a routine on her hit single, “Diamond Boy (DTM),” from her 2024 album Lana.
In the clip shared on X (formerly Twitter), the Missouri-born artist, whose actual name is Solána Imani Rowe, is seen alongside a male dancer. During the act, she went on to wrap her leg around the dancer’s thigh to take support as she leaned forward. However, SZA’s aide ended up stumbling, causing the singer to almost fall.
Nevertheless, the R&B veteran managed to maintain her balance and recovered from the mishap in a flash. The duo then proceeded with the remainder of the performance as if nothing had happened.

At the time of writing, SZA has yet to address the ‘fall incident’ that is dominating headlines all over the internet. Nevertheless, she did share a snippet, presumably captured by a fan, from the Minneapolis concert on her Instagram handle. The text on the video stated, “It feels illegal to be this close to SZA.” The singer also included a caption, dedicated to her fitness coach Taylor Petty, in the post, writing, “Shoutout to my trainer these cameras a lil close?”
After narrowly avoiding an on-stage fall in her Minneapolis concert, SZA will now travel to Houston. Other notable US destinations in her tour list include Atlanta, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Chicago, and Detroit, among others.
