So, picture this: SZA, the musical magician, finally decided to address the elephant in the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury – her performance that had everyone buzzing louder than a bee in a blender.
On Sunday night, our 34-year-old superstar took center stage, ready to wow the crowd. But plot twist! Her microphone decided to play a game of “Let’s Make SZA Sound Like She’s Singing Underwater.” The sound issues were so bad that the crowd was more confused than a chameleon in a bag of Skittles.
The BBC reported that during her heartfelt renditions of “Nobody Gets Me” and “20 Something,” SZA’s mic seemed to have its own artistic vision – one that involved a lot of muffling and distorting. It’s like her mic had a personal vendetta and chose that moment to become an avant-garde sound artist.
Fast forward to the next day, our queen of cool, SZA, took to her stories to spill the beans. “I was legit shaking lmao but we made it,” she wrote, keeping it real and relatable. Can we just take a moment to appreciate the “lmao” here? Because if you’re not laughing off technical disasters, are you even a performer?
Despite her mic trying to sabotage her career, SZA showered her team with love and gratitude. She wrote a mini-novel, thanking everyone from her tireless stage partners to her “fire ass band.” Honestly, if she wasn’t a singer, she’d make one heck of a cheerleader.
“To my fire ass band and every single person that helped make this happen, thank you from the bottom of my heart for dreaming with me. Glastonbury 2024 down,” she gushed. You could practically hear the virtual group hug.
And to top it off, SZA shared her pre-performance jitters. “Glastonbury, I was so nervous to be here with you today. I’m so grateful, you have my deepest love and my deepest respect,” she concluded.
SZA’s Glastonbury gig was a rollercoaster of emotions, technical hiccups, and heartfelt thanks. And through it all, she remained the cool, collected, and ever-relatable queen we adore. Lmao, indeed.
