The co-headlining concert, Grand National Tour, is being headlined by rapper Kendrick Lamar and SZA. The tour recently started on April 19, 2025, and will continue till August 9, 2025. The tour is set to happen across the US and Canada, as well as other European countries such as Germany, France, Scotland, Netherlands, England, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Poland, and Wales.

However, all did not go smoothly on the first day of the tour. As SZA was performing Diamond Boy (DTM), she was doing a dance move with one of the singers when SZA almost fell on stage because they tripped on each other's legs.

A clip of this moment was posted on X by Pop Crave, and netizens came flooding to the comment section to express their thoughts. One user commented on how the backup dancer will probably be in trouble for the rookie mistake. The comment reads:

"Yeaaaa he got fired lol" - @AceHolmes06 wrote.

How did netizens react to SZA stumbling on stage during her performance at the Grand National Tour?

Netizens came flooding to leave their comments and reactions on Pop Crave's post featuring SZA's stumble during her first performance for the Grand National Tour. While many left humorous comments to make light of the situation, there are also a few sympathetic comments trying to understand how the Kill Bill singer might have felt at the moment and after.

Have a look at some of the replies on Pop Crave's post.

One user who could empathize with the singer wrote:

"It’s a shame that so many people are laughing at her, I bet this was quite embarrassing for her." - @wickednewshub commented.

Many comments on the post referred to her weight, while one user explained how that was not the cause behind the wobble. The comment reads:

"it wasn’t that she was too heavy y’all. you can clearly see their feet get caught on each other. stop commenting on women’s bodies" - @kittylipsjohnsn explained.

Another user also added a clip from a different angle in the comment section, showing how SZA and her dancer's legs were entangled for a moment.

A fan commented:

"It’s not his fault. But she’s a great dancer." - @arianamarie chimed in.

One fan also noted how smooth her recovery was. They said:

"the recovery" - @aamoir wrote.
"That recovery was smoother than most people’s entrances!" - @bolly_dude added.

While fans left praises such as:

"She didn’t stumble. The stage just wasn’t ready for that much power." - @SheKnowsScience said.

However, many comments also mentioned how her voice did not break or falter during the stumble. Fans concluded in the comments that SZA just exposed herself for lip syncing due to the small mishap. Nonetheless, after the Nobody Gets Me singer composed herself from the near-trip, she and her dancer continued their set as it was supposed to be.
