Sabrina Carpenter headlines Coachella

Carpenter's performance marked a career milestone, fulfilling a promise she made to return to the festival as a top-billed act.

The show blended her signature pop hits with vintage Hollywood aesthetics, captivating a massive crowd in the California desert.

While the set was hailed as a superstar-caliber success, the night was also marked by the cancellation of DJ Anyma's closing performance due to dangerously high winds.

Other notable acts from the first day included KATSEYE and Turnstile, setting a high bar for the remainder of the festival's 25th-anniversary celebration.
