SZA, the most nominated artist at the 2024 Grammy Awards, delivered a powerful performance of "Snooze" and "Kill Bill" at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Dressed in a black hat and leather trench coat, she captivated the audience with her stage presence and energy. The performance included dramatic visuals and choreography, with SZA even symbolically "killing" her ex during the rendition of "Kill Bill." Her album SOS, released in 2022, earned her nine Grammy nominations and continued to make waves into 2023.
Two friends visiting Maui on vacation became trapped in the deadliest wildfire in over a century. As flames surrounded them, they sought refuge in a swimming pool, using the iPhone's SOS feature to connect with emergency services. They waited for hours until firefighters rescued them. The friends later realized the magnitude of the wildfire and considered themselves lucky to have survived.
An injured hiker in the Angeles National Forest was rescued by first responders after using her Apple iPhone 14’s SOS satellite feature. The feature allows users to connect to emergency services through text messaging and when there is no cellular or wireless signal. The technology kicks in automatically when a person tries to text or call 911. The satellite SOS feature is free for two years, though Apple has not announced how much the service will cost after that.
SZA has announced new tour dates for North America in September and October, along with a European run in June. Raye will join SZA in Europe. The tour follows the success of SZA's first No. 1 album, SOS, which stayed atop the charts for 10 consecutive weeks.
