All the rumors were true: Lizzo joined Harry Styles onstage during his Coachella Weekend 2 headlining set for a classic cover (“I Will Survive”) and for a One Direction favorite, 2012’s “What Makes You Beautiful.”
Adorned in colorful feathered boas, Lizzo took the stage for the Gloria Gaynor hit and strutted alongside Styles as they delivered the female empowerment anthem. They then segued to One Direction’s “What Makes You Beautiful,” which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. The tune is among the boy band’s most popular songs, nearing 700 million streams on Spotify alone.
