Tyla & Becky G Set Coachella 2025 on Fire: Weekend 1’s Hottest Moments
The California desert was ablaze with electrifying performances, surprise guests, and viral moments as Coachella 2025 kicked off its first weekend in style. From Tyla’s sizzling debut to Lady Gaga’s legendary headlining set, here’s everything you missed at Weekend 1 of Coachella 2025.
Tyla & Becky G Bring the Heat
Fresh off her Billboard Women in Music Impact Award, Tyla made her Coachella debut with a show-stopping performance at the Outdoor Theatre. Dressed in a sparkling gold top to match her mic, the South African superstar opened with “Push 2 Start” before bringing out Becky G for their steamy collab, “On My Body.”
But the surprises didn’t stop there—Tyla paid homage to Aaliyah, blending “On and On” with “Rock the Boat,” before jumping into fan favorites like “Truth or Dare.” The highlight? A dance party on top of a giant tiger prop, which she spray-painted in Brat green (a nod to her rising stardom).
And of course, she couldn’t leave without performing her global smash “Water”—complete with an acoustic intro and a kiddie pool splashdown that left the crowd screaming.
“It’s my first time at Coachella, and I’m really excited to be here!” – Tyla
