Since SZA has landed in New Zealand she has been busy not only serenading thousands of people at Spark Arena each night, but also getting to know our beautiful country. 🤩
SZA has fallen in love with Aotearoa and the Māori culture! At Tuesday night's show she wore the Māori flag proud during her performance of '20 Something'.
SZA also wore a pounamu on stage at Saturday night's show and said "I love New Zealand, I would move here, this is the most magical place on earth."
The audience closed SZA's last Auckland show with a Karakia 💜
The morning after her last show in Auckland SZA posted her Kirituhi she received by local artist @maia_ink_leroy.
Leroy Roberts of Maia Ink has also given Kirituhi to rapper T-Pain at the beginning of the year.
Kirituhi is for those of non-Māori heritage and SZA's one specifically reflects her mother and father's lineage.
SZA move her already!! 🙏
Play ZM for SZA!
