SZA is no secret waiting for Coachella 2026 ¬– and she made it crystal clear.
After a viral post claimed she’d been paid six figures to stand by in case Justin Bieber bailed on his headline set, SZA jumped into the comments with a reality check.
“Lmao who came up with this?” she wrote. “I’ve seen this 4 times now. I’m in New York, nobody paid me a dime. I wish everyone the best.”
Of course, the rumor mill didn’t stop there. The post – with Kill Bill singer – insisted she was on standby for Bieber’s April shows, where he is scheduled to perform alongside Sabrina Carpenter and Karol G.
Fans? Not ready to let go.
“Did you forget bieber is in one of her videos/songs… she might show up on his set atp,” wrote one hopeful commenter. Another said: “@sza baby girl just come we want to see you.”
To be fair, the crossover isn’t accidental—SZA and Bieber teamed up for an acoustic version of Snooze. So yeah, his wishful thinking checks out.
As for Bieber, he’s already teasing a packed set. “I want to do it all, both [SWAG] projects, probably,” he said on a Twitch stream, promising a mix of new tracks and classics. Nerves? A little. But Coachella, he said, “It soothes the soul.”
Meanwhile, Kylie Jenner is ready in full ‘Bieberchella’ mode – rocking merch and teasing the vibe before he even takes the stage.
Bottom line: SZA isn’t on standby… but fans aren’t giving up on a surprise just yet.
