Nelly Furtado demonstrated that the show must go on despite falling during a Coachella performance.
Furtado, 45, sang “Eat Your Man,” a 2023 song, with Dom Dolla during his performance on Saturday, April 13.
Furtado stumbled while walking on stage in a video that she shared on Instagram Stories, but she didn’t miss a note. She was face down on the floor, still belting out the lyrics to the song, but she got up swiftly and grinned. On Sunday, April 14, Furtado captioned the photo, saying, “Eat Your Man… not the stage.”
Another video that Furtado posted to her Instagram Story featured a close-up of her blood-stained thumb. Giving a thumbs up, Furtado remarked in the video, “This Barbie likes to rave.”
“Literally left it all on the stage… including my blood,” she said as the post’s caption. “All for you @domdolla,” Furtado continued.
Beginning on Friday, April 12, The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival boasts an impressive lineup of celebrity acts. A reunion of No Doubt was also included at the event, with Adrian Young, Tony Kanal, Tom Dumont, and Gwen Stefani singing some of the group’s most well-known songs.
Mid-show, No Doubt surprised festival go-ers by bringing Olivia Rodrigo out on stage. Rodrigo, 21, sported an “I [heart] ND” tank and “ND” silver belt, referring to the band’s initials.
“Hey Olivia Rodrigo, why do girls like me and you always want the bad boys,” Stefani, 54, asked before Rodrigo finished the line. Stefani added, “The damaged, the stupid, dumb boys!”
Rodrigo and Stefani sang a rendition of No Doubt’s “Bathwater,” and sweetly embraced at the end of the track. Rodrigo, for her part, couldn’t help but gush about her experience alongside the band.
“I remember hearing ‘Bathwater’ for the first time when I had just started writing songs,” Rodrigo wrote via Instagram on Sunday. “It totally turned my world on its head and inspires me to this day. [It] was the coolest honor to sing it with @nodoubt and @gwenstefani this weekend at @coachella !!!! they’re out of this world!!!! 🌏🌹❤️.”
Elsewhere in the California desert, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce locked lips on Saturday while jamming out to Bleachers. (The band is fronted by Jack Antonoff, who’s one of Swift’s longtime collaborators and close pals.)
“Taylor and Travis were in the wings of the stage watching the Bleachers set,” an eyewitness exclusively told Us Weekly on Sunday. “Taylor and Travis were screaming, dancing and full-on making out during the set.”
Per the insider, Swift and Kelce, both 34, danced the night away. The onlooker added, “[It] looked like they were having the best time and very much in love.”
