SZA Toasts AMA Wins With Champagne Balancing Act Inspired By Kim Kardashian

Posted on by EDITORIAL FEATURES

SZA celebrated her double win at the 2025 American Music Awards in Las Vegas by channeling Kim Kardashian’s infamous “Break the Internet” pose—complete with a champagne bottle perched on her lower back.

The “Saturn” singer posted a carousel of photos from the Monday (May 27) ceremony, but one cheeky image stole the spotlight.

In the photo, SZA beams while balancing a bottle of bubbly on her backside, a playful nod to Kardashian’s 2014 Paper magazine cover that once drove nearly 1% of all U.S. web traffic in a single day.

The homage didn’t go unnoticed. Kardashian’s original pose, shot by Jean-Paul Goude, featured her pouring champagne into a coupe glass resting on her bare bottom. The viral image was inspired by Goude’s 1976 photo “Carolina Beaumont, New York.”

SZA’s version skipped the glass but kept the spirit, adding her own flair to the moment.

Alongside the champagne snap, she shared photos with Shaboozey and her parents, capturing the joy of the night.
