Celebrity sightings and public reactions in the crowd

Justin Bieber’s headline set: format and fan response
Justin’s slot at Coachella mixed new music with nostalgia, but the presentation split opinion.
- He performed selections from his latest album, SWAG II, then moved through older hits.
- Rather than a full band or elaborate staging, he opted to sit on a stool and play tracks via YouTube.
- Reports emerged that his appearance came with a roughly $10 million fee.
Why the format drew heat
The minimalist setup prompted two competing narratives online.
- Some praised the move as clever and self-aware. They argued it referenced how he first rose to fame on streaming platforms.
- Others called the performance lazy, questioning the effort for a headlining act at one of the year’s biggest festivals.
- One social post highlighted perceived double standards, saying, “This wouldn’t be allowed for a woman.”
Moments from the set that became talking points
Several brief but notable events during the show stoked further discussion.
- Justin paused to shout out Hailey and their son, Jack, while singing a rendition of “Hallelujah.”
- His team’s choice to rely on pre-uploaded tracks rather than live instrumentation was a central talking point.
- The artist has not publicly addressed much of the backlash as of Sunday evening.
What the social conversation looks like now
Reaction threads ranged from supportive to scathing, and the topic trended across platforms.
- Fans defending the performance called it a strategic, nostalgic nod to digital roots.
- Critics felt ticket prices and headline expectations justified more dynamic staging.
- Celebrity commentary, like Katy Perry’s quip about ads, added a lighter angle to the debate.
