Kendrick Lamar and SZA recently concluded a performance at Ford Field as part of their "Grand National Tour." The concert, lasting over two and a half hours, featured the duo performing more than 50 songs. The show was a dynamic blend of styles, with SZA's R&B/pop complementing Lamar's rap.
The concert was meticulously structured, with high-energy tracks at the beginning and slower songs towards the end of each segment. This allowed for a balanced flow of energy throughout the night. The production design also played a key role, with Lamar's segment featuring pyrotechnics and a darker aesthetic, while SZA incorporated bright visuals and theatrical elements.
The setlist included a mix of radio hits and deeper cuts, catering to a wide range of fans. Memorable moments included Lamar's renditions of "Humble," "DNA," and "Alright," as well as SZA's performances of "BMF," "I Hate U," and a cover of Doja Cat's "Kiss Me More." The duet "All the Stars" was a highlight, showcasing the artists' chemistry.
The U.S. leg of the tour is set to conclude on June 18 in Washington D.C., followed by performances in Europe and Australia later in the year.
