SZA has won Best R&B Song for “Snooze” at the 2024 Grammys. The SOS track won the category ahead of Victoria Monét (“On My Mama”), Halle (“Angel”), Coco Jones (“ICU”), and “Back to Love” by Robert Glasper, featuring Sir and Alex Isley. After accepting the trophy from her longtime friend Lizzo, SZA recalled their early days performing together in a tearful speech, thanked her team, and waved hello to Taylor Swift.
SZA’s Best R&B Song win marks her third victory of the evening; she also took home awards for Best Progressive R&B Album for SOS and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for “Ghost in the Machine” with Phoebe Bridgers. She also performed “Snooze” and “Kill Bill” earlier tonight, complete with sword-wielding dancers and a literal dumpster fire.
SZA is up for a Grammy sweep, with SOS nominated for Album of the Year; “Kill Bill” nominated for Song of the Year and Best R&B Performance; “Low” angling for Best Melodic Rap Performance; and “Love Language” in the running for Best Traditional R&B Performance.
After failing to convert any of her first five Grammy nominations, all in the CTRL era, SZA won her first Grammy in 2022. She shared the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance award with Doja Cat for “Kiss Me More.”
