Olivia Rodrigo Surprises Coachella Crowd with Addison Rae for 'Drop Dead' Live Debut

Olivia Rodrigo made a surprise appearance during Addison Rae's Coachella set on April 18, 2026, to perform her new single 'Drop Dead' live for the first time. The collaboration occurred just one day after the track's official release, marking a highly anticipated moment for fans at the festival.

As Rae sang the lyric: "I compare myself to the new It Girl," from her 2025 hit 'Headphones On', Rodrigo joined the stage, before the two began performing her own single, 'Drop Dead' – which was released only one day before.

The performance saw both artists trading verses and energizing the crowd on the main stage. This follows Rae's previous Coachella guest spot with Maddie Zeigler the week prior, continuing a trend of high-profile collaborations at the event.

'Drop Dead' is the lead single from Rodrigo's upcoming album 'You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love', scheduled for release on June 12 via Geffen Records. The album reunites her with producer Dan Nigro, who also worked on her previous albums 'Guts' (2023) and 'Sour' (2021).
