But her ambivalence about being adored shouldn’t be taken to mean she’s not worthy of the job. “I should not be headlining this s-.” Later, when the show was over and she was offering her goodbyes, she added, “Thank you, Coachella - I’m sorry I’m not Beyoncé.”įinding the whole idea of pop stardom a bit cringe is part of why Eilish has resonated so deeply with Gen Z. “Dude, this is so weird,” 20-year-old Billie Eilish said not long into her set Saturday night. Coachella’s youngest-ever headliner may also be the performer most embarrassed by the honor. She finished by doing celebratory shots with her dancers (fun!) and previewing an unreleased song that doubled as a bit of guerrilla marketing for Taco Bell’s Mexican Pizza (oof). Doja brought out Rico Nasty for a growling “Tia Tamera” and Tyga to do “Juicy,” and she premiered a new tune that interpolates “Hound Dog” and will be heard in Baz Luhrmann’s insane-looking “Elvis” movie.
One thing about Doja, she does what she wants.”įor now, at least, she appeared to be enjoying herself as she sang, rapped and twerked her way through some of the colorful and freewheeling hits from last year’s blockbuster “Planet Her” album, including “Woman,” “Get Into It (Yuh)” and “Kiss Me More,” which just won a Grammy Award.
When I recently put the question of Doja’s future at Coachella to Wassim “Sal” Slaiby, who oversees her career, he said, “You’d have to ask her about it. The only problem? Doja Cat has said she’s ready to quit pop music as a result of her unpleasant interactions with fans on social media. slot that you had to wonder whether this lovably eccentric pop star might be ready to headline Coachella in 2023 (instead of warming up for the Weeknd and Swedish House Mafia, with whom she shares a manager). Doja Cat drew such a large audience Sunday in the 8:30 p.m. “If you see a girl here with better hips than me, let me know,” he spat before singing the band’s radio smash, “Beggin’.” - SEĩ:33 p.m. Vocalist Damiano David, who opened the set wearing a frilly prairie dress, stripped down to reveal a leather and fishnet ensemble. At the Mojave tent, Italian rockers and Eurovision champs Måneskin brought the noise and the sass.
“Sacrifice” and “How Do I Make You Love Me?” - both from his newish “Dawn FM” - were beautifully icy, while the industrial-sized disco groove of “Can’t My Feel Face” still delivered a wallop. Yet there was no denying the brilliance of his songs, and not just the creamy R&B ones. (The Weeknd, typically one of pop’s most stylish dressers, looked like he’d arrived straight from a catering gig, though his black gloves were an effectively creepy touch.) As such, it felt a little patched-together, at least as compared to Harry Styles’ glittery Friday-night blow-out. The pairing of the European DJs and the Canadian synth-pop auteur was Coachella’s last-minute replacement for Kanye West, who bailed on the festival with less than two weeks until showtime.
