After seven years, this queen has made a comeback!
Zendaya surprised everyone by joining Labrinth onstage during his Coachella set on Saturday night, which made fans very happy. The award-winning singer and actress revealed last year that she had stepped away from music after a long break.
The crowd cheered and hooted loudly when she walked into the spotlight in the Mojave Tent at the end of the British singer and rapper’s set. She joined him in the middle of their hit song “I’m Tired,” which was nominated for an Emmy and was on the music for the second season of the hugely popular HBO teen drama series “Euphoria,” where Zendaya plays the main character “Rue.
The star, who has won two Primetime Emmys for her role on the show, also stayed to sing a duet on “All of Us,” a big part of season one of “Euphoria” for which Labrinth wrote the music. Zendaya was singing live for the first time in seven years.
She wore a pale pink corseted dress with a frilly skirt over a white tank top. She also wore lace-up, thigh-high black stiletto boots and big hoop earrings, letting her long, curly hair hang loose.
She sang “I’m Tired” softly to fit the song’s mood and tone. “For All of Us,” she and Labrinth, Timothy Lee McKenzie’s real name, turned up the energy and danced around the stage. Zendaya gave her partner a sincere hug before leaving the stage. Labrinth then finished up his set.
After their performance, the “Spider-Man” actor went on Instagram to make a tired joke. He zoomed in on her face as she sang, “Hey, Lord, you know I’m tired,” Then he made a pouty face.
She then made an emotional statement in which she thanked Labyrinth for giving her the most beautiful safe space and talked about her gratitude for how fans reacted. “I can’t thank you enough for this wonderful night. Thank you to my brother @labrinth for inviting me and giving me the most beautiful safe space to be on stage again,” she wrote.
“And to everyone here tonight… wow… My heart is so full. I can’t thank you enough for the love I got tonight. It made all my fears disappear, and I’m so thankful.”
Zendaya became famous as a Disney Channel star. She put out her first album, “Zendaya,” ten years ago, but she has been focusing on her acting career more lately.
