SZA has paid tribute to Kendrick Lamar for bringing her along on the Grand National tour.
The TDE singer has now wrapped her stint on the record breaking tour and has nothing but love for her longtime friend and collaborator.
On Instagram Stories, she wrote: “This tour was the craziest most once in a lifetime experience I’ve ever had. Like all my childhood thoughts in one bang… WHAT WAS THAT? Lmao not a lot of words. Thank you to every single person involved that made this happen. Especially Kendrick Lamar.”
SZA also paid tribute to Kendrick while they were on stage together during a stop on the tour in June.

Getting emotional, SZA said: “He put me onto the biggest moment of my life. This is also the biggest moment of my life… I’m so thankful, and I’m so thankful to y’all.”
The two “Luther” collaborators then shared a close hug before continuing to perform.
SZA previously revealed she had doubts over the co-headlining tour with the rap superstar.
Sitting down for a chat with Chappell Roan for Interview Magazine, SZA has confessed to suffering from anxiety.
She said: “Every time I had to go on stage, every time I had to get on a carpet, I’d have full-on panic attacks. I used to not show up to something because it was like, ‘I’m never going to win. No one cares that I’m here. Why would I go?’”
The TDE singer said those issues spilled over into her tour with Kendrick: “Same thing with the Kendrick tour. Everybody’s going to see Kendrick. I don’t even know if I have anything to show these people that’s exciting and new.”
The “Kill Bill” superstar went on to say that she was doing much better: “Now it’s just like, ‘Fuck it. I don’t have anything else to do, and I want to see where this door is going to lead.’ I want to walk through the door. I want to see what happens in the uncertainty.”
Kendrick recently announced some extra stadium dates for the tour when it lands in Australia where he will be accompanied by Doechii.
