On a private account (colloquially referred to as finsta), she said: “I said yes to the big show” and “See you f**kers in the desert.” Her posts follow earlier rumours about her headlining Coachella, including an October post where she shared a rumour screenshot while saying she was headed to Tahiti to work on her album. Along with that post, she told her followers she was “mulling over big decisions,” and noted that “Saying yes when [you’re] unprepared is crazy. Been doing it my whole career [though] lol… might as well.” In a public Instagram comment responding to criticism of her reported headlining slot and naming Tame Impala and Dua Lipa, she wrote: “You can go see the other two headliners.” She also called out the critic for targeting “the ONLY Black woman headliner this year,” adding, “I’m still headlining. Enjoy.” – Additional reporting by Kaunda Selisho.
