Fresh off her latest Grammy win, SZA visited Sesame Street to sing “Be Kind to Me, Be Kind to You,” a new song about the importance of generosity, while joined by the harmonizing trio of Elmo, Abby Cadabby, and Gabrielle. Before performing the track together, SZA also showed the Sesame Street characters how to make your own gratitude jar. Check it out below.
Sesame Street has welcomed musicians and singers to its stoop for as long as it’s been around. In recent years, Big Bird and the rest of the gang have invited Haim to sing about the alphabet, Mickey Guyton to highlight the importance of community, Anderson .Paak to riff on holidays, Billie Eilish to perform “Happier Than Ever” with Count von Count, and Kacey Musgraves to sing about her favorite colors.
Later this month, SZA heads out on the Grand National Tour with Kendrick Lamar, during which the two will perform live in the United States, Canada, Europe, and the United Kingdom, following their Super Bowl LIX halftime show collaboration. SZA will be supporting SOS Deluxe: Lana, the expanded edition of her well-loved 2022 album.
