What did you think of Coachella weekend 2? Let us know in the comments!

Tetris Kelly:

Tyla gets real about if her ‘Chella look was Britney-inspired, Gaga handles a mic issue like a pro, ENHYPEN announces a new era as we find the chillest spot in the desert. These are your Coachella weekend 2 highlights. Tyla heated things up at the festival over the weekend, and her wardrobe instantly had her compared to pop royalty Britney Spears. An X user posted: “Tyla’s outfit for Coachella is inspired by the icon Britney Spears.” Tyla responded: “Love her, but I just thought the outfit was fly… no inspo.”

Lady Gaga’s headset went out during her weekend 2 Friday night set, but fans were quick to point out her professionalism and how a dancer handed her a new mic, and she kept the show on the road. We spent part of our time at Coachella at the best place to catch the Quasar Stage at: the Red Bull Mirage. It had drinks, the best views, oh yeah, and Nobu.

And our boys ENHYPEN had everybody talking again Saturday night. At the end of the set, the Sahara screen revealed the name of their mini-album: ‘Desire: Unleash.’ It’s scheduled for release on June 5, and we also saw the words “Can’t touch you, but I’m gonna make you mine,” which has fans losing it.

What did you think of XG’s performance? Let us know in the comments!

XG:

Hi, Billboard! 

Tetris Kelly:

Who is the most fashion-forward in the group? 

Me! Hi Billboard! I think we’re all just so excited to perform today. We’ve been waiting to perform on this amazing stage with beautiful, beautiful, amazing artists. So we’re just so grateful for this opportunity and in hopes that- we hope to kill it! We’re gonna kill it. Yeah for sure. I mean, it’s Coachella. So there’s stuff the seven of us thought up together, and of course there’s a ton that we talked through and came up with alongside our director, Sienna. There’s stuff she brought to the table, too. But I think, like by all of us creating one performance together, we’re able to really feel it and give it our all today, so yeah, I’m really looking forward to it. The song is called “IN THE RAIN,” and it’s this really emotional, R&B-heavy track that’s super important to us. And because it’s coming out right before Coachella, it feels like – how do I put it? – it’s helping us build up the momentum toward Coachella. That kind of energy is in there too. So I’d be really happy if tons of people watched it. I actually feel like a lot of people are watching it already! 

What part of the show are you most excited for?

I can’t choose! Should we say it all together? It might be a little crazy.

Post Malone’s Road to Coachella | Billboard News

Post Malone is one of Coachella’s headliners for 2025, and we’re breaking down his journey to Coachella. Keep watching to learn more!

Tetris Kelly:
Post Malone is heading back to Coachella, but this time he’s a headliner! This isn’t Post’s first time at the fest — he performed back in 2018 and again in 2023 as a special guest during Bad Bunny’s set. But this time, we know Post won’t need help when he brings the jams to Sunday at Coachella. Don’t worry, we’re here to tell you everything  you need to know.

At this point, we think it’s safe to call Post Malone a Coachella veteran. His sound has evolved and changed since he last had a solo performance as he transitioned from a more hip-hop sound into country music. Post is breaking out the guitar, the spurs and the cowboy hat as he rocks out to hits from his latest album F-1 Trillion. F-1 Trillion features hits like “Pour Me a Drink” featuring Blake Shelton, “I Need Some Help” with Morgan Wallen, and “Guy for That” with Luke Combs. Here’s to hoping he brings out some guests to join in on the fun.

Post won’t have any time to rest because right after Coachella, he kicks off his American tour: Post Malone Presents: The Big Ass Stadium Tour. So get ready because 2025 is going to be the year of Post.

What special guests do you wanna see Post Malone bring out at Coachella? Let us know in the comments below.

Was Katy Perry’s Journey to Space Tone-Deaf? | Billboard News

Katy Perry went to space with Lauren Sanchez, Gayle King and others on a Blue Origin spacecraft. The public and celebrities alike shared their opinions about the women being sent to space. Keep watching to find out what some Billboard staffers had to say about the trip.

What do you think of Katy Perry going to space? Let us know in the comments.

Stefanie Tanaka:

If anyone out there has $150,000, then you can go to space too. 

Tetris Kelly:

All right, so Billboard squad, five ladies went to space, but everybody seems to just be mad at Katy Perry. Are we mad? What’s going on?

Jerah Milligan:

I don’t care.

Stefanie Tanaka:

I can understand why people are mad. I don’t know if I feel that strongly about it.

Tetris Kelly:

Why? What are people upset about?

Stefanie Tanaka:

I mean, a lot of people, you know, times are tough right now. It doesn’t really like look super inspiring to see, like, super rich people just going into space. 

Ciara Zimring:

It’s not giving what they think it’s giving. They think it’s giving inspiring, sending a bunch of women to space, but it’s giving more sending a bunch of rich people in space, as opposed to actual female astronauts that should be sent up. 

Stefanie Tanaka:

Yeah, yeah. 

Ciara Zimring:

That would give more. 

Stefanie Tanaka:

It’s like, it’s cool for, like, the aesthetics of it, like to see a group of women, women of color, going into space. Like, it looks good as a photo-

Jerah Milligan:

As a photo.  

Stefanie Tanaka:

But it’s like, this was all funded by Jeff Bezos. They wouldn’t be going up there without him. If this is Elon Musk, people would be reacting the same way. All these billionaires are obsessed with going to space because they’re gonna leave this planet completely f—ed

Tetris Kelly:

Stefanie’s mad. 

Stefanie Tanaka:

They’re going to go up there the minute this planet goes to hell because of climate change.

Tetris Kelly:

I mean, and I think the funny part to me is that you have, like, this inspirational moment, but then I feel like the whole time I watched Gayle be a part of this, she was looking scared. She didn’t even want to go. And she’s like, why am I here? How did I get on this spacecraft?

Eazin Shares How ‘Shakespeare’s Bruises’ Came to Life: ‘It’s a Creative Collision’ | Billboard China

Eazin talks about the creative process behind his new song, “Shakespeare’s Bruises,” and more!

Eazin:

The music video for this song mainly highlights dancing with some small designs added, so mixing it with funky dance beats feel fresh, like a creative collision. The significant moment should be when I started learning street dance in university. At that time, in university clubs, we often performed at the school theater and I really love the feeling of being on stage. This song was the first time I collaborated with a talented team of American lyricists and composers specializing in singing and dancing. The earliest demo was completed by a lyricist and composer specializing in singing and dancing. There are more considerations when writing lyrics for singing and dancing songs. It’s important to ensure that the lyrics, dance, and rhythm are unified. In terms of the completeness of the work, the sound and rhythm are more important than the literal expression. For this song, I wrote the lyrics within the framework of singing and dancing making the expressions I wanted without affecting the rhythm and sound. This kind of creation was very interesting. Since the album is called The Great Novelist I wanted to try to create a scenario where modern novelists have a cross-temporal dialogue with historical predecessors. In the history of European and American literature when paying tribute to great writers Shakespeare is the obvious choice. Almost all the earliest templates for modern Hollywood genre films and heroic journey stories originate from him. Additionally, Shakespeare himself is quite mysterious with many of his works are widely known, but not much information about himself.

Are you excited for her new single? Let us know in the comments below!

Wisp:
It was amazing. I had so much fun. 

And then, what is that … the vibe over there? Because I feel like in that specific stage, like everybody’s just having a good time. 

Yeah, I was so relieved that I was playing Sonora stage because it’s so enclosed and it’s dark, and I feel like that’s the perfect vibe for my music. So it was really fun. It was packed, too.

Yeah, it was packed for your set. And I mean, you also debuted some new music. 

I did!

So how was it to play “Get Back to Me”?

It was amazing. I love that song, and I’m really excited for it to come out. 

And then, what have your fans felt when they were … how did you feel when they’re, like, did you debut a new song and like, they’ve never heard it before?

Yeah, I don’t know. Sometimes it’s hard to tell what people are thinking, but I feel like they were pretty well received today, so I’m happy.

And then, how has Coachella been, in general? Because this is your very first Coachella. 

It is.

So, like, how has it been walking around? What’s been your favorite part?

It’s been so fun. My friends are here as well. So we’ve seen a couple sets yesterday. Clairo was my favorite. She was amazing.

Gracie Abrams Talks Returning to the Studio After ‘That’s So True’ Success, ‘Exposure Therapy’ of Eras Tour & More | Billboard Cover

Billboard cover star Gracie Abrams is heading back to the studio and has revealed that she’s working on new music following the success of “That’s So True.” She opens up about her friendships with Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo, her experience opening their tours, the future of pop with Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan, her signing to Interscope, and more!

Gracie Abrams:

“That So True,” like, that was the first song I’ve had that did what it did. Every time I sat down to try to write something, I felt like a little sick kind of … how do I make something that makes me feel passionate, I suppose. Having been in Taylor’s orbit and she is, like, the most well-known artist there is. It really helps put everything into perspective where it’s like, I don’t really have it that bad in terms of the invasion of privacy and like, I feel like I’ve learned a lot from her, obviously, but one of the things that I’ve felt lucky to observe is like how extreme it can be, because I think it helps right-size my own sh–. I think having done The Eras Tour and seeing the largest crowds in the world, it’s kind of like this lovely exposure therapy, or anything smaller than that actually does feel kind of comforting, despite the fact that, of course, playing my own arena tour felt like a different planet to me entirely. I do think there felt like some kind of closeness even between me and the person in the last row. It was just the best time.
