The One Direction star made his debut as headliner of the California festival on Friday (15 April), inviting country music queen Twain onstage to perform her hits “Still The One” and the One Direction song “What Makes You Beautiful”.
The moment when Twain joined the “As It Was” singer onstage left Coachella attendees and social media fans “quaking” – especially after Styles revealed Twain “taught me to sing” as a child.
Twain replied: “I’m kind of lost for words. I’m a bit starstruck.”
After Styles’s headliner act brought the curtain down on the first day of Coachella – which returned to California after a two-year hiatus due to Covid – Twain reacted to being onstage with the 28-year-old singer in a tweet which read: “I mean c’mon... HARRY STYLES” with three fire emojis.
