Justin Bieber Joined SZA on Stage in Surprise Appearance

Justin Bieber left fans stunned on Saturday night when he joined SZA on stage for his first public performance in over a year.

Bieber had not performed a major concert since his September 4, 2022, concert in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, after he abruptly canceled the rest of his Justice World Tour to prioritize his health.

He has since made a few smaller appearances on stage, but his most recent public performance was not since February of 2024, when he performed at a private event in Toronto, for the Drew House x Toronto Maple Leafs show.

Needless to say, fans were pretty stunned when SZA brought him out on stage to perform with her on Friday night.

SZA is currently in the middle of her "Grand National Tour" with Kendrick Lamar. On Friday night, she played her second of three shows in SoFi Stadium outside of Los Angeles.

During her performance of "Snooze," she brought out Bieber to perform with her.

Needless to say, Bieber's shocking appearance at the concert quickly turned heads from fans who offered their reactions on social media.

"Incredible performance for both," one fan wrote in a post on X.

"omg they ate that," another fan added.

"Magical performance," someone else wrote.

"SZA really knows how to flip a crowd moment into a memory. This one’s gonna live rent-free," another fan added.

"His vocals are so good!" someone else commented.

It's been quite a while since Bieber has released music or performed publicly, so this was quite a treat for the fans in attendance.
