She is set to perform at just five gigs across Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne and it will be her first time Down Under since performing at music festival Splendour in 2019.

Fans were quick to share their excitement over the news, while others shared their stress at only getting one day's notice before the presale.

One wrote: 'I am crying on this Thursday morning the happiest tears.'

Another said: 'These American artists want us to go broke in April.'

A third penned: 'Same girl crying and so stressed like I need a notice at least a month in advance.'

Another added: 'You cannot just give one day notice for presale cmon.' 

The exciting news comes after SZA's huge success at the Grammy Awards, where she was the most nominated artist of 2024, with nine nods.

She won Best R&B Song for her hit Snooze, Best Pop Duo/Group Performance with Phoebe Bridgers for Ghost in the Machine, as well as Best Progressive R&B Album for SOS.

However, she missed out on Album Of The Year as it was taken home by Taylor Swift for Midnights.

Her fans claimed that SZA should have scooped the Album Of The Year award instead of Taylor.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, fans of the singer flocked to the comments to fume that she was 'robbed' of the esteemed gong.

Some wrote: 'sza snubbed for album of the year #GRAMMYS;' 'SZA got robbed omfg.'

Drake, who wasn't in attendance at the ceremony, also seemingly snubbed Taylor's win as he took to Instagram to re-share his iconic 2019 acceptant speech after picking up a Grammy five years ago.

SZA scooped up three Grammys this year after being the most nominated artist with nine nods, though her fans fumed she was robbed of Album Of The Year as Taylor Swift won

Alongside the repost, he wrote: 'All you incredible artists remember this show isn't the facts it's just the opinion of a group of people whose name are kept a secret (literally you can google it).

'Congrats to anybody winning anything for hip hop but this show doesn't dictate s*** in our world.' 

Others nominated for Best Album included Oliva Rodrigo, Miley Cyrus, Jon Batiste, Janelle Monae and Boygenius.
