Justin Bieber ’s Coachella performance has drawn criticism, with some calling it underwhelming, despite him reportedly being the highest-paid headliner ever at $10 million—surpassing Lady Gaga, who was paid around $3–4 million, and Beyoncé , who reportedly earned about $8 million.

🫀Thank God: A stroke of genius or lazy chaos? Fans are divided. Australian singer The Kid LaRoy joined American superstar Justin Bieber on stage at Coachella on Sunday, marking the pop star’s first appearance at the iconic California festival since his brief stint in 2022.

🫀Thank God: Bieber surprised his fans with a surprise appearance at the 2024 Coachella music festival, two years after announcing his diagnosis of Ramsay Hunt syndrome. The star made a brief appearance alongside Tims, and was later joined by Wizkid to perform their hit song “Essence.”

Thank God: Amidst a glittering video halo, and surrounded by a unique gray pile that resembled a skate park (or perhaps his wife Hailey’s widely circulated phone case), Bieber delivered a rather modest display of concert stripping—over the course of his 90-minute set, he removed his sunglasses and headpiece.
