Justin Bieber<\/b> has never done it for me. I would say it\u2019s because I\u2019m too old (a year older than him) but that didn\u2019t stop me from developing debilitating crushes on other age-appropriate pop stars as a teen: <\/span>Harry Styles<\/b>, <\/span>Nick Jonas<\/b>, <\/span>Zac Efron<\/b>\u2014who\u2019s not technically a pop star, but was at least spiritually so at a certain point in the late 2000s. All that to say, I deeply understand the latent fan crush that can exist within a grown woman. And at Coachella\u2019s second weekend, we saw a beautiful example of that in action, when Bieber brought Billie Eilish<\/strong> onstage to serenade her with \u201cOne Less Lonely Girl.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Well, actually, it was more that his wife, <\/span>Hailey Bieber<\/b> (who was a Belieber before she was a Bieber\u2014forever kudos on that one, girl), cajoled Eilish and kind of pushed her out of the front-row celebrity pen, and she jogged onto the stage. I can\u2019t tell if she was crying, but she was genuinely <\/span>overwhelmed<\/span><\/a>\u2014and Bieber seemed to be actually enjoying himself, a seeming rarity these days.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Bieber also invited <\/span>SZA<\/b>, <\/span>Big Sean<\/b>, and <\/span>Sexxy Red<\/b> onstage to <\/span>perform<\/span><\/a> with him, which really just highlighted how barebones his set was last weekend.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n But it hasn\u2019t slowed down Bieber fever, which is apparently alive and well: His clothing brand, Skylrk (which, yes, exists and has the name of a failed 2015 Silicon Valley startup), made $5 million over Coachella\u2014on top of his $10 million show fee. I don\u2019t have a particularly trenchant thing to say about those amounts but like, people are dying, Kim.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Other Coachella weekend 2 highlights included more legendary guest star appearances (<\/span>Madonna<\/b> during <\/span>Sabrina Carpenter<\/b>\u2019s set); more singers being fans of other singers (my favorite was Sabrina at <\/span>Geese<\/b>); and <\/span>The Strokes<\/b> playing a montage that called out U.S. foreign intervention over the past half century, including the assassination of <\/span>Patrice Lumumba<\/b>, the overthrow of <\/span>Salvador Allende<\/b>, and more recent videos showing the U.S.-backed destruction of universities in Iran and Palestine. For people who\u2019ve been fans of The Strokes since \u201c<\/span>New York City Cops<\/span><\/a>,\u201d it\u2019s nice that their politics are consistent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n You know what I never needed to hear?
