Will Smith Makes Surprise Appearance at Coachella
As we talked about on Shannon’s Scoop this morning, Coachella music festival happened over the weekend and if you were there, you got a surprise.
Will Smith joined Latin artist J. Balvin on stage for “Men in Black” during his performance.
Will Smith and J Balvin perform at the Coachella Stage during the 2024 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival at Empire Polo Club in Indio, California.
I guess J. Balvin was doing an alien-themed performance when Will hit the stage and rapped the song from the movie. J. was dragged off stage by dancers in matching black suits and then Will pulled out a “Neuralyzer” from the “Men in Black” film, the device that erases memory.

6 Wild Moments From Coachella
Coachella 2024’s first weekend came and went with a bang. The famous California Music & Arts Festival had us in shock and awe with amazing special guests throughout the weekend.
During weekend one, big names like Bebe Rexha, Tems, Victoria Monet, Renee Rapp, Tyler, the Creator, Lana Del Rey, Ice Spice, Sublime, Vampire Weekend, Doja Cat, J Balvin, Jhene Aiko, No Doubt, Coi Leray, Grimes, 21 Savage, Lauryn Hill, Taking Back Sunday, Lil Yachty, and many more.
As always, famous faces were in attendance, watching their friends perform and letting loose with the rest of the crowd. Notably, Justin Bieber showed up without his wife, Hailey Bieber, adding to the rumors that their marriage isn’t doing well. Meanwhile, love birds Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce hit up multiple stages, watching from the pit and getting super affectionate.
While folks were expecting perfect shows and wild special guests brought on stage during performances, there were some artists who dropped the ball during their set. Grimes kept fumbling with her mixes during her set. She told the crowd that there has never been a show of hers without a “technical difficulty,” and as she tried to explain to the Coachella crowd, she said, “Don’t blame me because it’s not my fault! Well, it’s partially my fault, but it’s not entirely my fault.” In the “classic Grimes fashion,” the musician added that her songs had been set to a double tempo and had to do “a lot of internal math” to try to get it sorted to play for the patiently waiting crowd.

On social media, however, fans were making fun of her meltdown at the technical difficulties, with users pointing out that this isn’t the first time Grimes has done this at her concerts. Meanwhile, one fan said, “This could be the worst performance in the history of Coachella.” She took to X (formerly Twitter) to issue a formal apology to fans. Adding that she “admittedly am not in the best mood atm,” Grimes said her set next week “will be flawless.”
Besides the mishaps, there were plenty of awe-inspiring, wild moments from Coachella’s first weekend.
