On April 13, Grimes' Coachella set was plagued by technical issues that prompted her to belt her frustrations into the microphone, CNN reports. .
She reportedly screamed in frustration several times, repeatedly stopped songs and told the audience that her tracks were "double the tempo," which was causing issues.
Grimes ultimately left the stage midway through performing "Genesis," and her set was cut short.
In her apology, Grimes described the
incident as "sonic chaos on my end trying to guess how stuff was sounding for u guys.".
I want to apologize for the technical
issues with the show tonight, Grimes, via X.
Usually I always handle every aspect of my
show myself â to save time this was one of
the first times Iâve outsourced essential things
like rekordbox bpmâs and letting someone
else organize the tracks on the sd card etc, Grimes, via X.
Grimes continued, saying that she
âwill personally organize all the files next weekâ and there were âgood lessons learned.â.
I will not let such a thing happen again. Iâve
spent months on this show, making music
and visuals, and admittedly am not in the
best mood atm. But, yeh - next week will be
flawless, everything will run thru my hands, Grimes, via X.
Plz forgive me! Love, always, Grimes, via X.
While the disastrous set prompted
mixed reactions, many expressed
empathy for what Grimes experienced.
I love Grimes's music, and the pressure
must be crazy to do a show like this - but
her show at Coachella is the musician's
version of nightmares where your
teeth fall out and everyone laughs. , @GhostTrainNFTs, via X

Billie Eilish Drags âBig Artistsâ , for âWasteful Packagingâ of Their Albums.
Eilish discussed her passion for sustainability in an interview with 'Billboard.'.
We live in this day and age where,
for some reason, itâs very important
to some artists to make all sorts of
different vinyl and packaging ⊠which
ups the sales and ups the numbers and gets
them more money and gets them moreâŠ, Billie Eilish, to 'Billboard'.
âI canât even express to you
how wasteful it is,â Eilish said.
I find it really frustrating as somebody
who really goes out of my way to be
sustainable and do the best that I
can and try to involve everybody in
my team in being sustainable â , Billie Eilish, to 'Billboard'.
... and then itâs some of the biggest
artists in the world making f------
40 different vinyl packages that
have a different unique thing just
to get you to keep buying more, Billie Eilish, to 'Billboard'.
Itâs so wasteful, and itâs irritating to me
that weâre still at a point where you care
that much about your numbers and you care
that much about making money â and itâs
all your favorite artists doing that s---, Billie Eilish, to 'Billboard'.
Eilish's 2021 record, 'Happier Than Ever,' was released in eight variants, but they were created with recycled materials, 'Page Six' reports. .
Many people speculated that Eilish's
comments were aimed at Taylor Swift, prompting Swifties to come to the pop star's defense.
