SZA Pulls Out Phoebe Bridgers, Cardi B On Surprising 'Ghost In The Machine,' 'I Do' Duet On MSG Concert

SZA is already midway through her "SOS" North American Tour, and she just pulled out two major big artists on her New York gig at the Madison Square Garden!

In her most recent album, the now most-streamed album of her discography on Spotify, "SOS," there had only been four official collaborations - Don Toliver, Travis Scott, Ol' Dirty Bastard, and Phoebe Bridgers.

Of all the four acts, this is the first time that SZA pulled out a collaborated artist on her own tour - Phoebe Bridgers! (via NME)

Per fans, SZA and Bridgers' collaboration was quite unusual, considering that the latter's genre is more on indie rock and indie folk. But the two's collaboration on "Ghost In The Machine," the album's twelfth track, is a fan favorite.

As SZA performed the song's first verse, as she does on previous shows, many did not anticipate that Bridgers would come out on the other side of the stage.

Sending the whole Madison Square Garden into an unexpected chaos when Bridgers arrived on her part.

"You said all my friends are on my payroll, You're not wrong, you're an asshole, Screaming at you in the Ludlow. I was yours for free, don't get existential," Bridgers sang. "I just think about myself and look where that got me. Standin' on my own in an airport bar or hotel lobby. Waiting to feel clean, That's so fucking boring."

Aside from Phoebe Bridgers, SZA also pulled out another a-list artist on her Madison Square Garden concert last Mar. 4, 2023.

Cardi B surprised everyone when she busted out with SZA on their song "I Do," marking the song's first-ever live performance.

"I left a nigga on read 'cause I felt like it. Dress me down in that Raf, Saint Laurent jacket, Dapper, dapper, I look fine and my checks divine, No wonder, wonder why I do whatever I like," Cardi B rapped.

"I Do" came from Cardi B's debut album, "Invasion of Privacy," the song landed No. 38 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts and was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.

After performing "I Do," Cardi also performed her part of her recent collaboration with GloRilla on "Tomorrow 2."
