\n\tAddison Rae<\/a> dazzled the Coachella<\/a> audience with her pop girl glamour on Saturday night. As promised, the festival set<\/a> was a departure from her recent live performances but still brought all the avant-garde drama the singer is known for.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe set opened with \u201cDiet Pepsi,\u201d which rang out as the screen read, \u201cThe Fame and Glory Show.\u201d Her dancers sported black jackets branded with the word \u201cfame,\u201d while Rae donned a boa made of hundreds during \u201cMoney Is Everything.\u201d During \u201cAquamarine,\u201d she welcomed Maddie Ziegler to the stage. The famed dancer twirled, dropped, and enraptured the crowd in a flowing white ensemble, while Rae contrasted her in bright red latex.<\/p>\n

\n\tRed was a recurring theme throughout the set: red sirens, a red brooch on her first outfit, the red pom poms her dancers shook. It kept showing up \u2014 then Rae decided to add something new to the mix.<\/p>\n

\n\tRae got the stage warmed up for tonight\u2019s headliner, Justin Bieber, slipping on a purple hoodie for \u201cHeadphones On\u201d and asking fans in the crowd, \u201cYou here for JB?\u201d The singer leaned in further, quipping, \u201cJust kidding, I\u2019m here for Justin Bieber.\u201d Rae does love fame, after all.<\/p>\n

\n\tShe shared the sense of stardom with a fan during her remix of Charli XCX\u2019s \u201cVon Dutch,\u201d recruiting one to lead the song\u2019s signature scream. She had a good time making her way over to the crowd, mostly because she got to break some rules. \u201cCan I go in here?\u201d she asked, then immediately added, \u201cOops! I\u2019m doing it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tLast week, Rae teased that this show would be different from her recent live performances on tour. \u201cThis show is not really\u00a0#TheAddisonTourShow<\/a>\u00a0anymore\u2026.. it\u2019s\u00a0#TheFameAndGloryShow<\/a>.\u00a0Sort of a 2.0. Starts at Coachella and finishes in Poland,\u201d she wrote<\/a> on Instagram. \u201cYou don\u2019t want to miss it!!!!!\u201d<\/p>\n
