Performing at Coachella is something that very few artists in the world can do. It has become over the years one of the most important music festivals in recent times. And it was last April 12 when the 23rd edition began, and the Californian desert was filled with attendees to enjoy the confirmed shows and the surprises that await them.
One of these unexpected moments of this first weekend was the appearance of Nelly Furtado as a special guest of DJ Dom Dolla. And if this performance by the house producer was already one of the expected ones, the audience was revolutionized when they saw the singer enter. A performance that ended somewhat bumpy.
The Canadian entered the scene at the same moment that the success she has in common with the DJ began to sound. Eat Your Man was released in 2023 and has since garnered great data, exceeding 55 million listens. Therefore, it is not surprising that Furtado was very excited and tripped over one of the cables on the stage.
At this, he fell face down on the ground at the moment of the chorus, awakening cries of surprise from the audience. However, the singer decided to continue singing while she recovered from the blow. A moment that did not go unnoticed, but that has put the artist's professionalism on the table.
Seeing this fall, Arucer@s collaborators could not help but comment on it during their program. "What a blow," said Alfonso Arús. "Nelly Furtado is from the motto Show Must Go On," Tatiana Arús added with a laugh. "I tell you that when she gets to the dressing room she will be remembering everything, looking at her knee a hundred thousand times," Angie Cárdenas pointed out.
And it is exactly this last moment that has also come to light. Furtado did not hesitate to publish a video on his Instagram stories in which he appears showing the injuries he suffered during the performance, including a bleeding fingernail. "I literally left everything on the stage...including my blood," he said. Some images that spread on social networks.
But it wasn't the only surprise there was during the first weekend at Coachella. Will Smith appeared in J Balvin's performance dressed in a black suit and dark glasses, reminiscent of his Man in Black character. So much so, that he did not hesitate to sing the main soundtrack song.
In addition, during the day Shakira with Bizarrap and Billie Eilish with Lana del Rey also appeared on stage. Some special invitations that show that surprises are more than guaranteed at this well-known festival.
