Taylor Swift While Rehearsing for ‘Eras’ Tour Praised By SZA
SZA has put an end to rumors of a feud with Taylor Swift by praising the popular singer and her latest album, Midnights. The Kill Bil singer, 33, made it clear on Thursday that she was not feuding with pop superstar, 33, when they both competed for the top spot ahead of Billboard’s next week of tracking.
SZA, whose real name is Solána Imani Rowe, tweeted that the two artists had no ‘beef’ after their fans misinterpreted promotional social media posts as an attempt to ‘block’ each other from topping the charts again.
“There is one minute left in the tracking period for this week’s charts,” she wrote.
“Thank you for STREAMING SOS and copping [digital versions],” the 33-year-old singer wrote. “Thank you CAMP for always doing YOUR BIG ONE […] LOVE TO ALL”
Fans were alarmed by the tweet, accusing the singer of outperforming Midnights.
SZA responded to the allegations by tweeting, “Uhh I feel silly even saying this, but I see supporters arguing, and I despise that,” the Grammy winner wrote. “I have no beef with ANYONE, especially Taylor lmao.”
She went on, “I truly enjoyed her album and writing!
Everyone is simply doing their best, as we all should. EVERYONE IS LOVED. Gn”
Taylor Swift has confirmed that her ‘Eras’ tour rehearsals have begun.
Swift mentioned it, seemingly in passing, on her Instagram story on Thursday (January 5), according to Billboard. The singer announced a 12-hour flash sale of exclusive digital copies of her latest album ‘Midnights,’ which included bonus “behind the song” material for four of the album’s tracks.
However, it was not the announcement of the flash sale that drew the attention of fans. “I knew Taylor was in tour rehearsals, but her TELLING US makes it feel even more real,” one ecstatic Swiftie tweeted.
“With Taylor saying the words tour rehearsal alone, it’s all starting to feel real,” said another.

Furthermore, it’s possible that Dylan O’Brien, who co-starred with Sadie Sink in the short film for 2021’s ‘All Too Well (Taylor’s Version) (10 Minute Version),’ is involved with Swift’s backup dancer choreography. The Knicks City Dancers posted a video to TikTok of the actor dancing with the troupe, with the caption, “We’ll remember this all too well.”
Swift hasn’t toured since 2018, when she embarked on a world tour in support of her 2017 album ‘Reputation’. In the meantime, she has released four albums: ‘Lover’ in 2019, ‘folklore’ and ‘evermore’ in 2020, and the aforementioned ‘Midnights’ in October. She also re-recorded “Taylor’s Versions” of ‘Fearless’ from 2008 and ‘Red’ from 2012.
The ‘Eras’ tour will begin on March 18 in Glendale, Arizona and conclude on August 9 in Los Angeles, California. Paramore, beabadoobee, Phoebe Bridgers, girl in red, MUNA, Haim, Gayle, Gracie Abrams, and Owenn will provide support on the tour.
