Ariana Grande reportedly paid US$8m for Coachella performance, featuring NSYNC, Diddy and Nicki Minaj

Arichella, her headlining performance featuring 25 of her hits, was criticised for its set pattern.

Ariana Grande was reportedly paid US$8 million (South$10.82 1000000) for her headlining operation at Coachella yesterday (Apr 15), reported Diverseness.

As the endmost deed of the first weekend, Grande brought out four-fifths of NSYNC, Diddy, Muse and Nicki Minaj, who faced severe technical difficulties which blundered her minute of screen fourth dimension.

Serving every bit Justin Timberlake-side by side, Grande performed slick choreography with the other four members of NSYNC for their songs Makes Me Ill and Tearin Upwardly My Heart. Minaj's appearance, however, was marred by technical issues, which resulted in her segment of the 2022 hit Bang Bang arriving a few counts delayed.

Diddy and Muse came out for Mo Money Mo Issues, a Notorious B.I.G. tune into which they worked memorial shout-outs not just to Biggie but a host of lost hip-hop artists leading up to and including Mac Miller and Nipsey.

The brisk 85-minute set had Grande quipping at one point that she was "running out of time". As she barrelled through 25 of her hits across v albums, many of the final numbers were shortened to omit unabridged verses.

Critics noted that the spectre of Beyonce nonetheless loomed big over this year's headliners. Beyonce's show-stopping headline operation terminal year has since been turned into a Netflix special, airing Wednesday (Apr 17).

Grande's set pattern and staging as well proved more than suitable for an arena tour, where audiences are guaranteed to spot the star. With dim lighting and a completely flat stage setup, Grande was hard to spot at some points in a body of water of more 100,000 festivalgoers.

Grande is set to reprise her performance at the second weekend of Coachella, starting this Friday (Apr nineteen).
