Lana Del Rey had a couple of heavily favored cameos during her Coachella performance Friday, welcoming recent collaborators Jack Antonoff and Jon Batiste, both of whom will be fronting their own sets later in the weekend — but also one far less easily guessed guest, in the form of Billie Eilish, who turned up for a surprise pair of duets.
Taking to a terrace overlooking the massive stage, the duo first joined forces on Eilish’s “Ocean Eyes,” then turned their voices to “Video Games.” Both songs represent the first real breakout hits in these artists’ respective careers.
The two traded fangirl notes as their joint appearance came to a close. Enthused Del Rey about her singing partner: “That’s the voice of our generation, the voice of your generation, and i’m so f---ing grateful she’s standing next to me right now singing my favorite song.”
Eilish retorted, “Get the f--- out of my face,” as they both fell into laughter.
“This is the reason for half you b-----s’ existence — including mine!” Eilish further told the crowd. “Lana Del Rey, you guys, come on!”
