Justin Bieber‘s highly-anticipated Coachella set on Saturday is already sparking backlash, with some fans tearing into the pop star and dubbing his show as the “worst performance.”

After a years-long hiatus, the 32-year-old “Daisies” singer — who was reportedly paid $10 million for his return — took the stage in Indio, Calif. only to be met with a wave of criticism from online trolls.

For the first half of the set, Bieber focused on his latest tracks from “Swag” and “Swag ll” before diving into a YouTube-heavy track list.

“Tonight is such a special night,” Bieber told the crowd while sitting on a stool behind a table that held his laptop. “I feel like we gotta take you guys on a bit of a journey. Do you guys remember this song?”

Bieber played hit songs like “Baby,” “Never Say Never,” and “Beauty and the Beat” on YouTube, while singing along to the music videos playing in the background.

At one point, Katy Perry poked fun at the moments in between YouTube searches.

“Thank God he has Premium,” the Grammy nominee, 41, said in a video posted to her Instagram. “I don’t want to see no ads.”

“I’m crying this might actually be the worst performance i’ve ever seen. He’s literally just playing music videos from youtube… zero effort, just pure laziness,” one user wrote on X.

“Justin Bieber being the most paid artist by Coachella and he offered a performance with literally no work, no budget and some people are praising him,” another person wrote via X. “Male mediocrity privilege is real.”

“What the hell is justin bieber doing bro you’re telling me he was the highest paid to do this bulls—?” another added.

Despite the criticism, some fans praised the artist for his stripped-down performance.

“These 8 minutes of Justin Bieber singing his old songs, I’m going to treasure them in my heart for the rest of my life,” one fan wrote. “THANK YOU JUSTIN, THANK YOU.”

“Justin Bieber absolutely ended Sabrina Carpenter. You don’t need High Production set or 10 outfit changes to put on a good show. All you need is pure talent. LEGEND.”

Bieber’s Coachella set marked his first major performance since 2022’s Justice World Tour. According to Rolling Stone, the pop star scored a seven-figure deal to headline.

“It’s a groundbreaking move for a headliner, and it’s something he built entirely on his own,” a source close to Bieber told the outlet. “Between headlining Coachella and the success of Swag, it’s clear this is the start of an exciting new era for Justin — one where he’s fully in the driver’s seat.”

Throughout his performing hiatus, Bieber has expressed his vulnerability and mental struggles through multiple posts on social media.

In April 2025, Bieber wrote, “I’m just an average flawed guy. I’ve done things that have hurt others. I continue to do and say things that hurt others unintentionally. Yet I woke up this morning with another opportunity to grow and not be so selfish today.”

He went on to write, “LOVE DRAWS US IN. LOVE DOESN’T CONDEMN. LOVE BELIEVES THE BEST. LOVE HOPES ALL THINGS AND ENDURES ALL THINGS. IT DOESN’T KEEP RECORD OF WRONG. LOVE HELPS U TO FORGIVE AND LOVE EVEN YOUR ENEMIES.”

Bieber made another post shortly after that, telling his followers that “Sometimes I think I’m gonna get exposed if I tell people how selfish I am. Like if I admitted that, maybe people wouldn’t like me or trust me.”

The “Baby” singer explained that he felt that if he was honest about feeling selfish, then he would be “disqualified from the dreams I had of being included,” but said that the more honest he is about things, the more freedom he has.

In another post, Bieber wrote that he “can’t control” how he feels when he wakes up each morning, and that in the past “I would find myself even subconsciously blaming god for the bad feeling I woke up with rather than communicate with him and ask him to help me have a change of perspective.”

Towards the end of his Coachella set, Bieber thanked the crowd for an unforgettable night.

“Tonight has been beautiful,” Bieber said before closing his set with “Daisies.”

After his second DUI arrest in under a decade, it is apparent that Tiger Woods is doing some looking in the mirror.

The 15-time major winner was arrested on March 27 after getting into a car crash in which his Range Rover turned onto its driver’s side.

Woods put up all zeroes on a breathalyzer but was given field sobriety tests after being “lethargic.” He was eventually handcuffed, and it is now speculated that he is in Switzerland for treatment.

People magazine said Woods, 50, is “ashamed” of his latest drama, citing a source.

“Tiger can be defensive at times but he was embarrassed and ashamed at the latest accident. He wants to fix his problems,” the source told People. “There is nobody more interested in seeing Tiger come out a winner again than Tiger. He doesn’t do well with defeat and embarrassing public situations.”

A court filing shows that a subpoena will be issued later this month for Woods’ prescription drug records from Jan. 1 through his arrest.

Woods told law enforcement prior to the field sobriety tests that he underwent seven back surgeries and “over 20 operations on his leg.” He told law enforcement that “I take a few” prescription medications. In 2021, he got into a wreck that resulted in serious leg injuries that kept him off the golf course for the entire year.

He also mentioned that his ankle was fused and he walks with a limp due to the injuries. Due to the nature of his injuries, authorities made him do the exercises sitting down.

Woods announced days after the arrest that he would “seek treatment,” and he was given permission to travel out of the country in order to do so.

“I know and understand the seriousness of the situation I find myself in today. I am stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment and focus on my health. This is necessary in order for me to prioritize my well-being and work toward lasting recovery,” Woods said in a statement posted to social media.

“I’m committed to taking the time needed to return in a healthier, stronger, and more focused place, both personally and professionally. I appreciate your understanding and support, and ask for privacy for my family, loved ones and myself at this time.”

Artemis II astronaut Victor Glover on Saturday used a public appearance to praise God and talk about how he felt a deep sense of gratitude following the crew’s monumental return from space.

Glover and his fellow astronauts spoke in Houston, Texas, about the experience of traveling to the far side of the moon, farther from Earth than any in human mission.

“I wanted to thank God in public,” Victor Glover said. “And I want to thank God again, because even bigger than my challenge trying to describe what we went through, the gratitude of seeing what we saw, doing what we did and being with who I was with… it’s too big to just be in one body.”

The appearance marked the crew’s first official public remarks after the mission, which carried astronauts more than 200,000 miles from Earth before returning safely. Crew members described both the technical demands of the mission and the personal impact of the journey.

“I have not processed what we just did, and I’m afraid to start even trying,” Glover said.

“I wanted to thank our families for everything, and I want to thank our leadership. We are fortunate to be in this agency at this time together.”

Commander Reid Wiseman spoke about the bond formed among the crew during the mission.

“We are bonded forever and no one down here is ever going to know what the four of us just went through,” Wiseman said. “And it was the most special thing that will ever happen in my life.”

Wiseman also addressed the experience of being far from Earth and the impact on the astronauts’ families.

“No one knows what the families went through,” he said. “This was not easy, being 200,000+ miles away from home.”

Mission specialist Christina Koch described how her understanding of teamwork evolved during the mission.

“A crew is people, that is in it all the time, no matter what, that is willing to sacrifice silently for each other,” Koch said. “A crew is inescapably, beautifully, dutifully linked.”

“Earth was just this lifeboat, hanging undisturbingly in the universe… Planet Earth, you are a crew,” Koch said.

Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen highlighted the human experience of the mission and the support behind it.

“It’s the human experience that is extraordinary for us,” Hansen said.

“Gratitude for my family, gratitude for NASA, gratitude for the teams. I don’t think people will really ever fully comprehend how well supported and trained we were,” Hansen said.

Last week, Glover drew praise on social media after he said his involvement in the Artemis II mission should be seen as part of “human history,” not a racial milestone, and conservatives circulated clips of his remarks prior to the crew’s launch Wednesday.

He made the remarks during a March 29 press event ahead of NASA’s Artemis II mission, which is returning astronauts to lunar orbit for the first time in decades. The mission has been noted for its historic crew composition, including the first woman and first Black astronaut assigned to a lunar mission.

Glover acknowledged the significance of representation while pointing to a broader aspiration beyond it. 

“It’s about human history. It’s the story of humanity — not Black history, not women’s history — but that it becomes human history.”
