Lana Del Rey headlines Coachella Day 1 on Friday, April 12, 2024. Pooneh Ghana
Lana Del Rey was joined by surprise guest Camila Cabello during her weekend two performance at Coachella 2024.
During her headlining set on Friday night (April 19), the “Summertime Sadness” songstress welcomed Cabello to the stage to sing her new track “I Luv It.”
After Del Rey temporarily left the stage, Cabello emerged with backup dancers for a lively delivery of her hyper-pop collab with Playboi Carti (who didn’t make an appearance at the Indio. Calif., festival).
Del Rey mostly watched with admiration, but joined in on some of the verses and at one point placed her hands on Cabello’s waist and playfully spun her around.
“I luv it, I luv it, I luv it, I luv it,” Del Rey sang to Fifth Harmony alum after she closed the song. “This is my girl. I have so much fun with her. I love this song to death. Thank you so much, angel, for coming to sing with me.”

Cabello replied, ”This is an honor me, you’re one of my favorite artists of all time. Thank you so much.”
On X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday, Cabello recapped her feelings about sharing the stage with Del Rey the night before, writing over a few posts, “not only is Lana Del Rey a once in a lifetime artist billie said it best, she’s the reason for all you b—-es existence including me !!!!”
“she’s inspired so many artists visually lyrically musically and moved the art form forward,” said Cabello. “i don’t really know who i would be without female artists like her who show me what’s possible. how to be free. how to be hard and soft at the same time. how to make your life a work of art. thank you for including us in your moment last night. i am at your service forever my girl.”
In late March, prior to the release of “I Luv It,” Del Rey showed some love for the energetic single on social media. “i luv it,” the singer-songwriter captioned black-and-white photos of the “Senorita” singer on Instagram. Cabello took to the comments section of the post, leaving a series of crown emojis.
Del Rey’s weekend two performance at Coachella follows her guest-filled set at the popular music fest’s opening day on April 12. During the performance, she welcomed Jon Batiste for “Candy Necklace,” Jack Antonoff for “Hope Is a Dangerous Thing,” and duetted with Billie Eilish on “Ocean Eyes” and “Video Games.”
Del Rey’s roughly 90-minute Coachella set last weekend also boasted some truly stunning set design, a bizarrely alluring hologram moment, her trademark sultry vocals, a generous helping of faded glamour and even some stripper pole twirling by the singer herself for good measure.
