Week one of Coachella took place this past weekend and Beyonc‘s performance shut the internet down. Prior to Bey’s performance, reports surfaced that she had been holding lengthy rehearsals and had 100 dancers. Beyonc took the stage on Saturday (April 14th) for a history-making performance on Day 2 of Coachella. The singer did a 105-minute set with a marching band, costume changes, fireworks and had a HBCU homecoming-themed performance with a pep rally. Bey opened up with “Crazy In Love” and performed hits such as “Freedom,” “Formation,” “Sorry,” “Bow Down,” “Diva,” “Flawless,” “Feeling Myself” and “Don’t Hurt Yourself.”

Bey, who is the first ever African-American female headliner, was joined by JAY-Z, her sister Solange and reunited with Destiny’s Child. JAY joined his wife for “Dj Vu,” while Bey, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams performed “Lose My Breath,” “Say My Name” and “Soldier.” Solange danced beside her sister during “Get Me Bodied.”

Yonc also gave a heartwarming speech to her fans in Indio, California, and to those streaming via YouTube. She said, “I just wanna say thank you guys. I’m so happy that I’m here,” she said. I was supposed to perform at Coachella before but I ended up getting pregnant, thank God, and I had time to dream and dream and dream with two beautiful souls in my belly. I dreamt up this performance. This is everything and more than I dreamt of it being. Thank for sharing this with me.”

  • Cardi B also hit the stage on Sunday (April 15th), showing off her growing baby bump. She performed “No Limit” with G-Eazy, “She Bad” with YG, “Best Life” with help from Chance the Rapper, “Ring” alongside Kehlani, “Bartier Cardi” with 21 Savage and ended with “Bodak Yellow.”
  • SZA also performed this weekend and was joined by Kendrick Lamar. She sang “Supermodel,” “Go Gina,” “Drew Barrymore” and “Love Galore.” SZA was also joined by Trippie Red for “Dark Knight Dummo” and K-Dot to sing “All the Stars.”
  • Migos, The Weeknd, Post Malone and a host of others also hit the stage this weekend.
  • On another note, Iggy Azalea and Tyga were spotted at Coachella together, which sparked dating rumors.
