Olivia Rodrigo performed her brand-new single “Drop Dead” live for the first time at Coachella Saturday night (April 18) as a surprise guest during Addison Rae‘s set.
Rodrigo surprised the audience at the festival’s main stage when she joined Rae to sing “Headphones On,” from Rae’s Addison album. Her appearance was previously unannounced.
As The Hollywood Reporter recaps, Addison sang her “Headphones On” lyric “I compare myself to the new It Girl,” and out came Olivia to applause from the Indio, Calif., crowd — whose excitement would grow even more when the pair launched into Rodrigo’s “Drop Dead” for its official live debut.
Rae traded lines with Rodrigo on the song’s verses, while both pop stars jumped around the stage to hype the crowd up for the song.
“Drop Dead” is the first single to be released from Rodrigo’s upcoming third full-length album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love. It arrived on Friday alongside a Petra Collins-directed music video filmed at the Palace of Versailles.
“I realized all my favorite romantic love songs were beautiful because they had a tinge of fear or yearning in them,” Rodrigo said of the album’s concept in an interview with British Vogue, to which she also revealed the collection is full of “sad love songs.”
You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love is set for a June 12 release via Geffen. Before then, Rodrigo will be both host and musical guest on Saturday Night Live on May 2.
