Zendaya drove fans crazy with a surprise Mojave Stage appearance at Coachella.

Coachella 2023 has been incredibly talked about. Some of the topics under discussion have been less than positive. These include the drama surrounding Frank Ocean, be it the money he's costing the festival, the ice rink he had built, or his sudden departure from the festival. While Ocean has been the primary negative topic about Coachella, it's been a sizable negative on its own.

However, there have been some good things about the festival. Bad Bunny's Weekend 2 set has been hailed as a highlight. Furthermore, k-pop fans were going wild for BLACKPINK's Saturday night closer. There have also been plenty of surprise guests, such as The Weeknd joining Metro Boomin in Weekend 1. And one Weekend 2 guest has fans going crazy.

Zendaya Joins Labrinth To Perform "Euphoria" Theme Song

Zendaya got her start as a Disney Channel star and released an album, Zendaya, in 2013. However, she is now better known for her non-Disney Channel acting. From MJ in the MCU to Lola Bunny to Euphoria, Zendaya's got range. But she returned to her musical roots as she surprised fans by appearing on stage at Coachella. While she had released "I'm Tired" with Labrinth and "Elliot's Song" with Dominic Fike in 2022, it was Zendaya's first live performance in years. Safe to say that the Mojave stage was closed out in style on Saturday night.

Labrinth has a wealth of bangers, but his link to Zendaya includes the 2022 collab and providing the theme song for Euphoria. Labrinth even won an Emmy for his Euphoria work. As Labrinth started up "All Of Us", Zendaya appeared on stage to screams of surprise and delight. Zendaya then proceed to perform the song alongside Labrinth as the crowd went wild. It's the second guest Labrinth has had at Coachella, with Billie Eilish joining him during Weekend 1. While Euphoria isn't set to return until 2024, Zendaya has a handful of projects in the works. She will appear in the sports rom-com Challengers in September and the sci-fi sequel Dune: Part Two in November. What did you think of Zendaya's performance?
