It’s that time of year again, and that means that Coachella is back!
This year Ariana Grande was the headliner of the annual desert concert, performing in front of thousands in Palm Springs. She confidently commanded the stage, performing some of her biggest hits including ‘No Tears Left to Cry’ from her album ‘Sweetener.’
Ariana Grande-Butera also delivered a throwback performance featuring the 1990s favorites NSYNC. Comprising of Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick, Joey Fatone, and Lance Bass, the ‘Bye Bye Bye’ fiver is known to have a cult following at peak of their fame in the early 2000s. Sans Timberlake, the foursome joined the ‘Thank u, next’ singer to perform some of their biggest releases.
Grande also called on Nicki Minaj, however, their performance was riddles with sound issues, causing many in attendance to complain.

Paying tribute to Notorious B.I.G, Grande invited P. Diddy and Mase on stage to rock out to the iconic 90s track ‘ Mo Money, Mo Problems’. Nonetheless, 25-year-old Grande did well, but it sure wasn’t #Beychella.
