Not even a lemon could sour Ariana Grande’s energy when she closed out the second weekend of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on Sunday, April 21.
Without special guests that included ‘NSync, Nicki Minaj, Diddy and Mase during weekend one, Grande’s set received mixed reactions from the audience.
There were two surprises during her performance. The first being a mysterious lemon thrown at Grande, which she addressed during her song, “Break Your Heart Right Back.” The second surprise was her only special guest of the night, fellow pop star, Justin Bieber, who sang his hit song, “Sorry.” Bieber also delivered news of an upcoming album in 2019.
Festival goers quickly turned to their phones to react to Grande’s performance. This is what they had to say:
Ariana Grande is a dope aritist, but I got bored at the second song on the set list. #Coachella

One more time, with feeling. Ariana Grande said no press photos for #Coachella 2. So that means…terrible stick figure drawings (because I am NOT an artist) #arichella pic.twitter.com/Jqxu1xxnKw
