Ariana Grande closed out weekend 1 of Coachella in colossal style.

The vocal wonder thrilled the capacity crowd with a seemingly endless array of hits and welcomed a number of notable names on-stage to perform with her.

NSYNC (sans Justin Timberlake) rocked out to ‘Break Up With Your Girlfriend’ (which samples an earlier song of theirs) as well as‘Tearin Up My Heart.’

Later, Ari brought out Diddy and Mase for a rendition of ‘Mo Money, Mo Problems’ (which is sampled on an fan-favorite ‘Break Your Heart Right Back’).

One of the most (unintentionally) notable scenes came courtesy of Nicki Minaj – who joined Grande for a rendition of ‘Side To Side.’

What was meant to be a mega-moment became one for all the wrong reasons when an earpiece glitch threw Onika and the entire performance off.

Nicki Minaj has paid tribute to the victims of the Manchester Arena bombing during her sold-out show in the city.

The horrendous act of terror took place as an Ariana Grande concertin May 2017 ended and saw 23 of attendees (mostly children and their parents) taken from their families. Minaj, one of Grande’s collaborators, used a portion of her show to honour their lives.

She told the  crowd:

“God bless the families of everybody who survived them, and God bless Manchester for being resilient and not bowing down to fear. For being strong no matter what. No matter what.”  

The entertainer has enjoyed a successful commercial run on her Nicki Wrld Tour despite facing a number of logistical errors which forced her to pull the plug on a number of shows. U.S. dates are pending announcement.

The “Chun-Li” rapper announced on Instagram on Monday that she will release a surprise capsule collection in collaboration with Diesel on September 19, sharing a photo of herself wearing a black padded hood emblazoned with the words “BAD GUY” in bright red block text.

“You need people like me. So you can point your finger & say: THAT’S THE BAD GUY,” she wrote in the caption for the shot, “Got a surprise for anyone who’s ever been labeled #TheBadGuy Stay tuned.”

Little else is known about the collection, which is set to debut on the first day of Milan Fashion Week, but according to Women’s Wear Daily, the brand has already sent out save-the-dates for the line’s presentation that read “The Queen Is Coming” and “Diesel Is Dead.”

Congrats to @NICKIMINAJ! Queen is now certified Gold by the RIAA!
