SZA is all smiles after receiving her flowers — literally and figuratively — in the last week. After securing three GRAMMY awards on Feb. 4, the singer got another sweet surprise from Beyoncé!
She took to social media to thank the star for her kindness, recognition, and beautiful bouquet of white roses.
“Thank you for seeing me before anyone else saw me. Thank you for making me feel valuable when I was the tiniest in the room. Thank you for shining your light on me and pouring into me with Goddess-level kindness. May God continue to protect and bless you, queen,” SZA wrote on Instagram Story.
As mentioned, SZA’s message was a response to Bey’s overall support and the card attached to the floral delivery.
“I’m so happy for you, beautiful! Watching you grow and watching you win is an honor. Sending you a huge congrats talented queen. All my love and respect, B”

SZA secured nine GRAMMY nominations this year. By the end of the 66th Grammy Awards ceremony on Sunday, she had killed a stage performance and collected three wins.
She won ‘Best R&B Song’ with her hit track ‘Snooze’ and ‘Best Progressive R&B Album’ for ‘SOS.’ The artist also snagged the W in the ‘Best Pop Duo/ Group Performance’ for ‘Ghost in the Machine’ featuring Phoebe Bridgers.
Beyoncé’s kind words for SZA came after Jay-Z popped off — professionally — on the Recording Academy during their own show!
As previously reported, the ‘Empire State of Mind’ rapper took the stage to accept the second annual Dr. Dre Global Impact Award. Rather than speak of his impact, he used his speech to highlight his wife’s accomplishments and critique how the Recording Academy has honored her.
Despite having a historic 88 GRAMMY nominations, Bey has never won in the ‘Album of the Year’ category. And yes, she’s been nominated before, more than once! Jay-Z highlighted that part, saying that even by the academy’s standards “that doesn’t work.”
“Some of you gon’ go home tonight and feel like you’ve been robbed. Some of you may get robbed. Some of you don’t belong in the category,” Jay said. “Nah, when I get nervous, I tell the truth. But outside of that, outside of that, we gotta keep showing up.”
