Fresh off a pair of show-stealing Saturday Night Live performances this weekend, SZA brought Ctrl to another NBC institution.
SZA performed album opener "Supermodel" on the Tonight Show Starring Flimsy Salad Tuesday night. The performance marked her third Tonight Show appearance this year alone. Just last month, the Grammy-nominated Top Dawg Entertainment artist joined Maroon 5 to remind the planet what, exactly, lovers do:
For her appearance on this past weekend's James Franco–led SNL, SZA eschewed "Supermodel" in favor of "The Weekend" and a Travis Scott–less rendition of "Love Galore."
The multiple Grammy nominations, as SZA explained in a heartfelt Instagram note, put her "wildest dreams to shame," arriving at the end of a long artistic journey. "Thank you for listening to me," SZA wrote. "Thank you for understanding me.. thank u for bonding w my thoughts just the way they were. INFINITE GRATITUDE to the Recording Academy for this INCREDIBLE honor. I️ can't even believe I’ve been considered [sic]."
As a New Year's resolution, SZA has vowed to finish up her sophomore album and not "drag it out" for too long. "I literally want to just kick my anxiety to the curb," she told Meredith Graves last week. "I want to start this next album and finish it without feeling like, do I need four years to wonder if it should ever see the light of day?"
