The Grand National Tour might just have received its most grand entry as of yet. Singer-songwriter SZA, set out for a performance as any other day on the co-headline tour, but things took a twist as the thirty-five-year-old performer pulled Justin Bieber onto the stage. The two artists have given the audiences possibly one of the most heated performances, harmonizing to SZA's 'Snooze' under the flashing lights. Swaying to the beats, Bieber and SZA interact fleetingly as they move across the stage. 

The Grand National Tour has been ongoing under the co-headliners rapper Kendrick Lamar and SZA. The collaboration act of the artists has marked the release of Lamar's sixth studio album as well as SZA's first reissued album 'SOS Deluxe: Lana, giving it a potential mark to make on musical history. The elaborate performance acts and the medley of the two artists who have collaborated over the decade had kick-started with a mock Super Bowl LIX halftime show where SZA walked in as a guest performer on February 9, 2025, finally beginning on April 19, 2025, with its United States leg of the tour. 

SZA's presence as a collaborative headliner has genuinely proven to be a grand act. The singer-songwriter has garnered an avid following, drawing her own massive fanbase, effectively blending two powerhouse audiences into one unprecedented live experience. Her dynamic stage presence, elaborate choreography, and cinematic storytelling have added a whimsical, dreamlike quality that complements Lamar’s intensity, making each show a unique spectacle.
