Even though she is a household nаme in the music industry, SZA’s skills go far beyond the realm of performance.
The TDE singer got together with American gymnast Simone Biles and showed off her own abilities in a gymnasium in an Instagram video posted in the lead-up to the 2024 Paris Olympics.After a brief embrace, SZA says that meeting Biles—the most decorated gymnast of all time—had been a “dream” of hers.
The gymnast-turned-musician (of “Kιll Bill” fаme) also discusses her own background in the sport.
After realizing I wouldn’t make it as a national gymnast, I thought, “Okay, I’ll see what else I can accomplish.” According to her, she needed a competitive outlet.
SZA then gets her dancing skills back by completing a handstand with Biles.
Grammy winner SZA added, “That was fun as sҺit.” to an Instagram Story video in which she and Biles backflip into a foam pit.There are more musicians besides SZA who have been involved in the Olympic preparations.
