Justin Bieber headlined Coachella for the first time on Sunday night, a performance reportedly worth $10 million. The Canadian pop act's set, scheduled for a late start, featured a significant focus on his lesser-known recent singles, much to the disappointment of fans expecting his older, popular songs. While he did include a medley of beloved hits like 'Baby,' 'Favorite Girl,' and 'Never Say Never,' the majority of his performance leaned towards newer material.
Despite the fan feedback online, which ranged from disappointment to derision, several celebrities were seen enjoying the show. Kylie Jenner and her boyfriend Timothée Chalamet were spotted in the crowd, enthusiastically singing along to some of Bieber's classic tracks alongside his wife, Hailey Bieber. The couple appeared to be in high spirits, drawing attention from other festival-goers.
Bieber's set also included performances of songs seemingly dedicated to his wife, Hailey, such as 'First Place' and 'Go Baby.' He also performed 'Walking Away,' speculated to address divorce rumors, and 'I Do,' interpreted as an affirmation of their commitment. The artist even delved into his early YouTube performance days, singing along to a childhood cover of Ne-Yo's 'So Sick.'
Jennifer Lopez also made a surprise appearance at Coachella during David Guetta's set earlier in the evening, marking her own significant moment at the festival.
