The collaboration between the two Grammy-winning artists had already generated buzz with the studio version of ‘IRL’, but seeing it live brought a new level of energy and emotion. Fans in attendance erupted as Lizzo emerged on stage, with the moment quickly going viral across social media.
This was the first time the two have performed ‘IRL’ live together, and the chemistry between them didn’t disappoint. SZA, currently promoting her “LANA” deluxe album, has been drawing massive crowds across the GNX Tour. The addition of Lizzo only fueled excitement for what’s next.
The Paris performance also comes amid speculation of more collaborations between the artists, both known for their empowering messages, soulful vocals, and genre-bending styles.
Industry insiders now wonder if Lizzo might appear at more GNX Tour stops or if this was a one-night-only event. Either way, the Paris crowd got a historic performance that will be remembered long after the tour wraps.
As the GNX Tour continues across Europe, fans are keeping a close watch—hoping lightning might strike twice.
