Defying rumors that she’d bring out Taylor Swift as her special guest for the Coachella Valley Arts & Music Festival, headliner Lana Del Rey brought out singer-songwriter Camila Cabello instead.

Cabello performed her song “I LUV IT” while Del Rey occasionally chimed in on the vocals, adding a lively song to the otherwise mostly relaxed set.
At the end of Cabello’s performance, Del Rey nodded to the song and the singer, changing the lyrics to “I love you, I love you, I love” as she sang to Cabello.

The two are clearly close: In a March 22 Instagram post, Del Rey posted pictures of Cabello with the caption “i luv it,” perhaps clueing us all in to the performance.

Of course, some were disappointed that Del Rey didn’t bring out Taylor Swift, after conspiracies circulated online that it could happen.

Following suit with her Weekend 1 performance, Del Rey also brought out singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jon Batiste for a performance of “Candy Necklace” and musician and producer Jack Antonoff, who played piano while Del Rey sang “hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have.”
