Teen Vogue: Happy Coachella, y’all! How was your set on Friday, Tinashe?
Tinashe: It was so much fun, honestly. Just being up on [that] stage was a big bucket list [item] of mine. So it was really great to be up there and see the crowd, and having my family there in the audience… It was a very magical moment and the sun was setting. It was dreamy.
Mai Pham: Damn, you had a sunset?
T: Yeah, it was sunset, it was like right at seven o’clock. It was the perfect hour.
MP: The ambiance.
T: Yeah, it feels like night falls and all of the vibes change at Coachella. Everybody’s here.

TV: The pictures were gorgeous. It was like golden hour.
T: It really was amazing.
TV: And how has your weekend one been so far, Mai?
MP: My weekend one has been good. It’s my first time ever at Coachella. I came in here with no expectations and I’m really glad that I did because we’ve just been going with the flow, whatever you see, you see. It’s been a lot better than I thought it would be.
TV: Tinashe, last year you came out as a surprise guest for Kaytranada. What was it like taking over the Mojave stage on your own this year?
T: Yeah, I mean, it was sick. I think every time that I come out as a special guest, that’s always an amazing moment. You’re like the surprise, so everybody’s ready to go up for you. But having your own set is a whole ‘nother level of just feeling like you get the time to really express yourself and your artistry and get the full well-rounded picture of what you can bring to the table. So it was really, really fun.
