Zendaya just made her long-awaited return to the stage.
Last night, the multi-hyphenate made a surprise appearance at Coachella, joining Labrinth as his guest for his Weekend 2 performance in the Mojave tent. The duo performed their Euphoria soundtrack songs "I'm Tired" and "All for Us," with the Emmy-winning actress making her live comeback as a singer after nearly a decade.
The Dune star walked on stage to roaring cheers to perform the gospel-inspired duet "I'm Tired," which she co-wrote with the composer and songwriter for Euphoria's second season. She and Labrinth then broke out into the series' season one finale song "All for Us," dancing enthusiastically across the stage.

For the performance, Zendaya layered a light pink stain-trimmed top and matching ruffle miniskirt over a white tank, paired with thigh-high stiletto boots from Christian Louboutin.
Zendaya made her singing debut in 2013, releasing her self-titled debut album ahead of a tour that wrapped up in 2015. Last year, she opened up about her decision to step back from music on Twitter, thanking fans for supporting her "little tiny toe dip" back into music, following the release of her co-written Euphoria season 2 tracks "I'm Tired," and "Elliot's Song."
"I stepped away from music quite a while ago, for a number of reasons, but I still really love it, so the kindness and support I’ve received the past few days just for a little tiny toe dip back into some music means the absolute world to me..thanks<3," she wrote.
Following Saturday night's performance, Zendaya posted a heartfelt thank you to her fans in an Instagram story.
"I cannot express my gratitude enough for this magical night," she wrote. "Thank you to my brother @labrinth for inviting me and giving me the most beautiful safe space to be on a stage again. And to the crowd tonight...wow...my heart is so full, I can't thank you enough for the love I received to night, made all my nerves melt away, I'm so grateful."
