Fans attending Labrinth’s Coachella set were shocked when Zendaya made a surprise appearance to perform songs from her hit HBO series “Euphoria.” 

On Saturday, Labrinth took the stage during weekend two of the popular music festival and played two songs from the “Euphoria” soundtrack. As the first notes of “I’m Tired” began to play, Zendaya waltzed onstage, eliciting a loud reaction from the crowd.

The duo also performed “All For Us,” a song that went viral in August 2019 after it appeared in the season one finale. Yahoo! Entertainment reported that it’s the first time Zendaya’s performed live in eight years.

Fans shared footage of the moment on Twitter, with many praising Zendaya and Labrinth for the performance. 

Zendaya thanked fans later that night on her Instagram stories. 

“I cannot express my gratitude enough for this magical night. Thank you to my brother Labrinth for inviting me and giving me the most beautiful safe space to be on a stage again,” Zendaya wrote. “And the crowd tonight…wow…my heart is so full, I can’t thank you enough for the love I received tonight, made all my nerves melt away, I’m so grateful.”

She followed up the post with a short video thanking Labrinth for allowing her to give the “last minute” performance.

“I have never heard screaming like that in my life,” Zendaya said, referring to the crowd. “As soon as I turned the corner, I couldn’t hear anything but you guys.”

She added: “I don’t know what happened. I don’t know what I sounded like, but I was just like, ‘You know, I’m going to have fun.'” 

Zendaya’s unexpected performance comes after a somewhat hectic Coachella weekend one. Insider’s Callie Ahlgrim reported headliner Frank Ocean gave an underwhelming performance that sparked an outcry on social media.

On Wednesday, a representative for Ocean confirmed to Insider that he dropped out as a festival headliner. He was replaced by Blink-182.
