Grimes had a tumultuous time during her recent Coachella performance, with technical difficulties plaguing her set and leading to a breakdown on stage. The artist, known for her techno music and previous marriage to Elon Musk, struggled through a 50-minute set filled with glitches and issues.
Throughout the performance, Grimes faced challenges with the speed of her tracks, forcing her to restart songs multiple times. The situation reached a breaking point when she attempted to play Music 4 Machines, prompting her to swear and apologize to the audience for the major technical difficulty she was experiencing.
Despite her efforts to explain the issues to the crowd, fans took to social media to express their disappointment, with some dubbing it as the "worst performance in the history of Coachella." Observers noted the irony of Grimes, a vocal advocate for AI in music, facing such significant technical setbacks during her set.
In response to the performance, Grimes later issued a statement, acknowledging the technical issues and taking responsibility for outsourcing certain aspects of her show preparation. She expressed regret for not overseeing all elements herself and emphasized the importance of maintaining control over the production process.
Looking ahead, Grimes reassured fans that she would personally organize all files for future shows to prevent a similar incident from occurring. She reflected on the lessons learned from the experience and vowed to deliver a flawless performance in the upcoming week.
Despite the challenges she faced on stage, Grimes remained committed to improving and ensuring a better experience for her audience. She acknowledged her emotional state during the performance and promised to focus on engaging with the crowd and delivering a top-notch show in the future.
As she reflected on the chaotic nature of the performance, Grimes admitted to not being aware of certain behaviors, such as screaming into the microphone out of frustration. She humorously noted that she would work on adding effects to her vocals if the need arose in the future.
