According to People SZA said:
“Sorry I’m out of breath because I was changing then I took a shot and I ran here,” she said as she ran on stage and greeted Lizzo, who presented the award to her with a big hug. “But Lizzo and I have been friends since 2013 when we were both on a tiny RedBull tour together opening up in small rooms for like 100 people. And to be on the stage with her is so amazing, I’m so grateful.”
She continued, “I would like to thank my parents, my mom and my dad, God, Top Dawg, Punch, all of TDE and my siblings at TDE, to my godparents, to my niece.”
“I just.. I’m sorry, I’m just really overwhelmed,” the singer said as she got choked up. “You don’t really understand. I came really, really far and I can’t believe this is happening and it feels very fake.”
As she finished up her speech, she gave a shoutout to Taylor Swift in the audience before hilariously rushing off stage. “And I’m… Hi Taylor! I’m just really grateful. And I’m not an attractive crier. Have a good evening.”

Seeing SZA & Lizzo embrace was beautiful. SZA has gone through so much in the industry. Snooze was an amazing song on an amazing album. That was a loaded category.

SZA’s win for “Snooze” off 2022’s SOS beat out “ICU” by Coco Jones, “Angel” by Halle, “Back to Love” by Robert Glasper ft. SiR & Alex Isley and “On My Mama” by Victoria Monét.
SZA’s performance
During the awards ceremony, the 34-year-old musician sang her Grammy-nominated hits “Snooze” and “Kill Bill” from her two-time nominated album SOS.
After an intro about the meaning behind her No. 1 LP, the Top Dawg Entertainment singer hit the stage in a leather trench coat as she sang her two songs, both of which were nominated on their own, for the crowd at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
For the performance, SZA was surrounded by flames, trash cans and stage lights as she opened with “Snooze,” before launching into “Kill Bill” after pushing off a dancer on stage.
“Kill Bill” then saw SZA tap into some choreography alongside dancers holding swords — and even singing amid an on-stage fight sequence.
