“I really don’t want to give anything to Coachella,” she told UProxx. “I know that it is heartless of myself, in a way, but I could honestly cry on the phone with you by thinking how excited I am to do this show, and I want it to be a total surprise, and I want everyone to have as much as possible.”

This year marks the second time from Gaga to the head of the main scene of Coachella. She previously titled in 2017, working with notice only two weeks after Beyoncé Canceled because of her pregnancy with rumi and sir twins.
