Lizzo celebrated her friend and Grammy-winning artist SZA in a heartfelt post on Tuesday, declaring that the SOS star is the “most beautiful, talented and incredible woman, artist & friend I know.”
Taking to Instagram, Lizzo shared a photo of the two embracing on stage and wrote, “SZA, I absolutely love you and hope you know how loved and appreciated you are by the world. You are beautiful from the inside all the way to ur fine ass outside.” She continued, “You are an icon & I tell u this all the time in person & on the phone but I wanna give you ur public flowers as well because you beyond deserve. I ride for u forever.”
The “Juice” singer ended her note with: “The light always shines on you !”
Earlier this month, Lizzo joined SZA onstage during her Grand National Tour stop in Paris. The duo performed “IRL” from her My Face Hurts From Smiling EP for the first time.
In May, SZA brought out Lizzo during her show in Los Angeles. The duo performed SZA’s remix of Lizzo’s single “Special,” off her 2022 album of the same name. In matching black outfits, the best friends delivered an uplifting performance of the track on the SoFi Stadium stage in front of thousands.
Following the show, Lizzo took to her Instagram and posted the caption “BABYS FIRST STADIUM PERFORMANCE — I love u @sza u r THEE DIVA !”
Lizzo’s upcoming studio album, titled Love in Real Life, will be previewed in Los Angeles, New York, and Minneapolis in March. This will be her first LP since she was accused of sexual assault and a hostile work environment by her former dancers.
Lizzo opened up about her longtime friendship with SZA in a June interview with Billboard, calling her “one of the only people that I can text at 3 in the morning when I’m crashing out.”

“I really appreciate her, because she understands — and I think it’s really hard for you to have someone in your life who actually fucks with you and who’s known you for a long time who also understand the world that you’re in,” Lizzo said. “I think that’s what I cherish the most about her. She gets me.”
