The Grammy Award-winning global star headlined the first day of the festival on April 10. As promised, it was one of the most ambitious shows of her career, and she truly delivered a fantastic night she had been preparing for.
Bringing the charm of Hollywood with her house party theme, the songstress opened the performance with a black-and-white set, beginning while seated on a black vintage car.

She walked onto the stage in a glittery red mini dress with a long overcoat, making her way along a path lit up with stars.

With a jam-packed crowd cheering for her, she began her performance with House Tour. The stage featured a replica of the Hollywood Hills with the sign “SABRINAWOOD,” along with vintage cars and cameras.

During her 90-minute performance, there were multiple costume changes and outstanding sets, including one featuring men dressed as dogs. She also brought out special guests such as Will Ferrell, Sam Elliott, and Corey Fogelmanis.

''I can't believe I'm headlining Coachella!'' she told the audience before adding: ''I can a little bit but it's nicer to say that, right?''

Samuel L. Jackson's voice also echoed in the Coachella venue and told her, "Now Sabrina, finish the mother f**ing song." During her segment, she also drove the vintage car near the stage, waving at the sea of fans.

Along with several of her hits, she also performed the live debut of ‘’When Did You Get Hot,'' ‘’Sugar Talking, ‘’and ‘’We Almost Broke Up Again Last Night.'' During one of her sets, she wore a black bodysuit that gave off “bad fairy” vibes with elaborate, well-designed black wings.
