SZA's Hidden Talent Revealed: From Gymnast to Grammy Winner
Grammy-winning singer SZA recently shocked fans by revealing a secret skill: gymnastics! In a promotional video for NBC Sports, SZA met Olympic champion Simone Biles and revealed a past life dedicated to the demanding sport.
unexpected revelation: The video, titled “When SZA Met Simone—PPart 1,” showcased a starstruck SZA gushing over Biles. “This is my dream to talk to you,” she exclaimed. Little did anyone know, SZA had a secret connection to the world of gymnastics.
From the Mat to the Mic: SZA confessed, “I used to be a gymnast,” but admitted she “was nowhere near as cool as you [Biles].” She explained that when it became clear she wouldn’t reach national-level competition, she turned her sights elsewhere. “I needed something to be competitive at,” she said, hinting at the competitive spirit that would later translate into her musical career.

What’s Next? Whether SZA will continue to showcase her gymnastic skills publicly remains to be seen. However, this revelation has undoubtedly piqued the curiosity of fans.
