Lana Del Rey closed out night one of Coachella with an ethereal performance on the main stage Friday night. She brought out some of her famous collaborators, superstar producer and musician Jack Antonoff, along with Jon Batiste. But her more surprising cameo came in the form of Billie Eilish.
Eilish strutted on stage to sit alongside Del Rey on a raised platform on stage to sing Eilish’s 2016 hit “Ocean Eyes.” The pair duetted the single before going straight into Del Rey’s 2012 song “Video Games.”
“That’s the voice of our generation, the voice of your generation, and I’m so fucking grateful she’s standing next to me right now singing my favorite song,” Del Rey said about Eilish.
Del Rey wore a sparkly blue cut-out dress and her honey-blonde hair parted to the side. Eilish wore a beige button-up shirt and baggy jeans.
“This is the reason for half you bitches’ existence — including mine!” Eilish said in response. “Lana Del Rey, you guys, come on!”
After the entire set, closing out Del Rey also left the stage on the back of a motorcycle in true Lana fashion.
