SZA's Glastonbury headlining set wasn't perfect, as her show was met with technical difficulties and even smaller crowds who attended her show. Regardless, the musician was grateful for the opportunity as she spoke out for the first time following her performance.
Taking to her official Instagram account, the "Weeknend" hitmaker shared several photos of her performing on the Pyramid Stage, the biggest set for performers at the annual music festival.
"Tonight I faced my fears . Tonight my entire team made the impossible possible !!" she wrote. The R&B singer thanked her staff, band, backup dancers, and everyone who helped her.
"Thank you from the bottom of my heart for dreaming w me," she added.
Initially, the Daily Mail reported that SZA included in the caption that she was "legit shaking" during her performance, but the post had been edited.
The recent news comes after the musician suffered from mic issues for the first 30 minutes of her set, which many described as muffled and muddy. After the sound problems were fixed, people claimed the quality of her voice through the speakers was inconsistent.
In addition, SZA was also met with a smaller crowd despite being on the biggest stage at the event. Just minutes before she started, videos circulated on social media showing patches of the venue still empty.
The singer addressed the crowd during her set, saying, "Glastonbury, I was so nervous to be here with you today. I'm so grateful, you have my deepest love and my deepest respect."
In her recent post, fans assured her that she did great with her show, as one wrote, "they didn't appreciate you enough tonight mama. you did absolutely amazing and don't let anyone who's not confident in their own success to sell you otherwise."
"You did it!! Always remember the power that you have within yourself... Your endless dedication to your craft and to the fans that come to see you in unmatched. You deserve every single bit of it," one commented.
In other updates about Glastonbury, Emily Eavis, the daughter of founder Michael Eavis, has confirmed that the annual event is already scouting for possible performers for the 2025 edition.
However, she also noted that the festival is already canceled as the Worthy Farm will take a "fallow year" for the land to recover.
"(It will) give the land a rest," she said, adding that the event before a fallow year is fun because they can fit almost two years into one festival.
