On November 5, the final day of voting in the U.S. presidential election, SZA urged her fans to participate in the electoral process. She emphasized the importance of voting through her Instagram Story, stating, “Make sure [you] vote today or [you] can’t complain.” The singer revealed that she had cast her ballot two weeks prior in New Jersey, which was one of 47 states that provided early or mail-in voting options.
While SZA did not endorse a specific candidate this election cycle, her past comments about Donald Trump have been pointed. In 2016, she criticized him sharply, saying, “If you support Trump publicly, [you] support bigotry, lying, and xenophobia,” highlighting the negative impact of his rhetoric on marginalized communities. In another post, she expressed her discontent with Trump’s actions and comments regarding Muslims, referencing a controversial incident where a hijab-wearing protester was removed from one of his events.
SZA is not alone in her activism; many artists have rallied around Vice President Kamala Harris. Cardi B spoke at a Harris rally in Milwaukee, while Lizzo also made an impactful appearance at an event in Detroit. Other celebrities supporting Harris include Usher, Eminem, GloRilla, Halle Bailey, and Lil Nas X. In contrast, Trump has received endorsements from figures like Lil Pump and Kodak Black.
On the music front, SZA is preparing to release her third studio album titled LANA, although no specific release date has been announced yet. Her most recent solo track, “Saturn,” was performed live for the first time at the Grammy Awards earlier this year. Fans are eagerly anticipating more details about her upcoming project as she continues to engage with social issues through her platform.
