During his headlining set at weekend two of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on Friday night (April 22) Harry Styles brought out special guest Lizzo.
Toward the latter part of his intense main stage performance, the 28-year-old British pop star surprised festival-goers by inviting Lizzo (born Melissa Viviane Jefferson) to the stage for a superb cover version of the Gloria Gaynor 1978 disco anthem “I Will Survive” and a lively rendition of One Direction‘s popular “What Makes You Beautiful.”
During their Coachella collaboration, the two friends, who’ve formed a sweet bond in recent years, strolled up and down stage each wearing brightly colored faux fur coats while belting out the pair of hits.
Lizzo took to Instagram and captioned an overjoyed selfie alongside Styles writing “Proud of you @harrystyles. Thank u for having me,” and in a second post “Thanks @coachella … last night was amazing— @harrystyles is a treasure, gods gift to rock n roll, the light that comes from him is real and infinite.. he makes being on stage in front of hundreds n thousands easy, cus it’s w a friend. His team is incredible— and baby them Gucci coats….?!?? Thank you H, like u said ‘until next time.”
“I Will Survive” spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1978-79, and “What Makes You Beautiful” enjoyed four weeks atop the chart in 2012.
