And I go eye to eye with so many people during this show, and it’s something about tour that makes the love real, and tangible.”

The conversation delves into SZA’s journey, including fame, spiritual hygiene, anxiety management, and taking creative risks. The entire interview is available on Apple Music 1, giving fans a deeper look into the artist’s world.

Ebro Darden, Apple Music’s Global Head of Hip Hop and R&B, expressed enthusiasm for bringing SZA’s S.O.S. Tour to Apple Music Live, recognizing her exceptional music, songwriting, and dedication to delivering incredible content. SZA’s success, as one of the most streamed artists of 2023, is bolstered by her record-breaking sophomore album, SOS.

SZA has had a significant impact on Apple Music, with streams nearly quadrupling globally over the last year. SOS broke records with the most simultaneous entries on the Global Daily Top 100 and a historic 28-day run at No. 1 with “Kill Bill.” The album is now the second most popular album on Apple Music worldwide in 2023, as well as the year’s best R&B release.

With the “SZA Essentials” playlist receiving a 203% increase in global streams over the last two years, SZA has cemented her place among the top 50 artists of all time on Apple Music. Ed Sheeran, Burna Boy, Dominic Fike, Brent Faiyaz, Harry Styles, Billie Eilish, Alicia Keys, Lil Durk, Mary J. Blige, Luke Combs, Wizkid, and other artists have all performed on the second season of Apple Music Live.
