It's been less than 48 hours since SZA picked up three Grammy Awards, and she's had little time to reflect on her “fever dream” of a spectacular night at the 66th annual ceremony.
The warning sign The star took to Instagram on Monday night after her whirlwind Grammy Awards weekend, where she thanked those who played an integral role in her success and accolades.
“Thank you to every single person who created this album with me. Thanks to every single person who plays sh– it zooms up the charts for me over and over and over. Thank you for putting me in rooms, conversations and stages I never dreamed of. The only way up is up.”
She had a show-leading nine nominations, and SZA won in three different categories: best R&B song (“Snooze”), best progressive R&B album (warning sign), and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance (“Ghost in the Machine” with Phoebe Bridgers).
“I can't see anything yet because I'm still in last night. I'm not really into today. But I am so grateful and relieved that he is [Feb.] 5. I survived [Feb.] 4,” he said album-lana-1235816722/” target=”_blank”>The Hollywood Reporter. “I didn't crash and burn on national TV and I'm so grateful.
“If I hadn't won a lick, hadn't won a single thing, I would have been so grateful to have just survived the night. So to have one of my closest friends [Lizzo] give me a prize then get me to take home two more they are wild. It's like a fever dream, basically.”
Advertising sign under the name SZA's warning sign beat Taylor Swift's Midnight in the album of the year category as one of the biggest Grammy snubs of the night.
“I don't actually. I'm grateful to win three,” SZA said when asked if she had any thoughts on her loss to Swift. “I could have walked away with nothing and I didn't, and I'm grateful. My parents saw it and I didn't bomb on live TV, and that was so scary. And I faced some really big fears and I'm just happy that everything went well, honestly. And I'm happy for everyone.”
Lizzo made a rare public appearance as a presenter for SZA's Best R&B Song win – amid a harassment lawsuit filed against Lizzo by her dancers – and the pair shared a warm embrace. In her acceptance speech, SZA recalled when the duo were on a small tour together about a decade ago and to see how far they've come in the time since they were superstars in the industry.
The “Truth Hurts” singer returned the favor and congratulated SZA in a heartfelt Instagram post on Monday.
“I want to congratulate my beautiful friend SoLana. She made an album that touched millions of people and created a voice for so many women who aren't afraid to feel deeply. “SOS is a triumphant monologue of songs that effortlessly shows growth, sadness, admissions of guilt and even good days,” he wrote.
“I said it last night and I'll say it again—WE NEED YOU SZA, you are the artist of a generation, a unique voice and a timeless poet. I'm so glad you got your flowers on that Grammy stage, but the real trophy is your gift. And for that, WE thank you. I am so proud of you and LOVE YOU DEEPLY!!!! SIZZO SUPREMACY @sza.”
