Following the release of her Cure-inspired single 'Drop Dead,' Olivia Rodrigo made a surprise appearance at Addison Rae's Coachella Weekend Two set, dueting 'Headphones On' before performing the track live for the first time. Rae's set also featured dancer Maddie Ziegler.
During Addison Rae's performance of 'Headphones On' at Coachella's Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, on April 19, Rae paused after the lyric 'I compare myself to the new It Girl,' cueing Olivia Rodrigo's onstage entrance. The pair duetted the song, then Rae yielded the stage for Rodrigo's live debut of 'Drop Dead,' the lead single from her upcoming third album. Fans shared videos of the collaboration during Weekend Two. Ziegler repeated her Weekend One cameo on Rae's 'Aquamarine'; she is known for Sia collaborations and Dance Moms. Coachella Weekend Two featured other guests like Sabrina Carpenter with Madonna, Zara Larsson with PinkPantheress, and Justin Bieber with SZA, Sexyy Red, Big Sean, Billie Eilish, and Dijon. Rodrigo had previously surprised at the 2024 festival during No Doubt's set. Rae's debut album Addison came out last summer.
