Coachella’s Gayest Moments, Ranked
From Reneé Rapp’s giant scissors to that new Billie Eilish teaser — queer pop stars showed out at the music festival.
Gay girls everywhere rejoiced when Lana Del Rey brought Eilish onstage with her during her headlining performance to duet Lana’s “Video Games.” Hours later, at a DJ set, Eilish teased some tracks from her new album releasing next month, including “Lunch,” whose lyrics include: “I could eat that girl for lunch, yeah she dances on my tongue.” In case there were any reasons to doubt what, exactly, Billie is referring to, the song continues: “So now she’s coming up the stairs, so I’m pulling up a chair, and I’m putting up my hair.” Femmes and long-haired butches know what’s up. A household name back home, the first Black Latin American artist to reach 1 billion streams on Spotify and the first Afro Latina to perform at Coachella made clear to her U.S. audience who she is when her Sunday set began with an audio note from none other than Beyoncé: “From Rio, Brazil, all the way down to Coachella … Ludmilla.” A voice message from Brazilian trans activist and politician Erika Hilton followed; Hilton condemned homophobia, transphobia, racism, and misogyny, saying hatred had no place at this show. Ludmilla is openly bisexual, having dated one of her backup dancers, Brunna Gonçalves, before they married five years ago, and audiences this past weekend were treated to the two beauties kissing and dancing together onstage.
