At the Coachella 2026 festival in California, Justin Bieber set a new record among headliners. According to Western media outlets, including Rolling Stone, the singer earned over $10 million for two weekends of performances. This surpassed previous earnings by artists such as Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, The Weeknd, and Ariana Grande, who typically received around $8 million per show.

Coachella traditionally brings together the world’s biggest stars, with headliner fees reaching millions each year. Bieber’s performance became one of the most talked-about of the festival – not only because of the record-breaking deal but also due to its unconventional format.

An Unconventional Performance Format

The stage production differed significantly from traditional concert shows. Bieber sat at a table with a computer, projected social media videos about himself onto the screen, and commented on them in real time. Some tracks were performed in a «karaoke» format, accompanied by pre-recorded backing tracks.

During the set, the artist even complained about Wi-Fi issues that occasionally interfered with the performance. Despite this, the setlist included both new songs and classic hits, including Baby, which the audience sang along to especially loudly.

Audience Reaction: From Praise to Criticism

Following the performance, audience opinions were divided. Younger viewers praised the experimental approach and interactivity, calling it one of the freshest shows at the festival. Meanwhile, some long-time fans criticized the minimalist staging, lack of special effects, and simplicity of the visual presentation.

Despite the mixed reactions, many attendees agreed that Bieber’s return to the big stage was one of the standout moments of this year’s Coachella.

A Return After a Break

The California performance marked Bieber’s first major stage appearance since 2022, when he paused his world tour due to health issues, including Ramsay Hunt syndrome. His appearance at Coachella effectively signaled his return to active live performances.

Family Support and Brand Presence

Bieber’s wife, Hailey Bieber, also played a notable role in the media impact of the performance. She attended the festival with her Rhode team, organized guest activities, and supported her husband during the show.

Rhode products and collaborative merchandise from the couple were also showcased at the festival, adding further buzz across social media platforms.

GQ magazine has once again summed up the fashion highlights of the year, unveiling its annual list of the most stylish celebrities of 2025.

The editors noted that in an era dominated by TikTok trends and algorithm-driven aesthetics, genuine personal style has become increasingly rare.

«In 2025, having a personal sense of style is almost an act of rebellion. When fashion is dictated by fleeting trends, those who stay true to themselves shine even brighter,» the publication emphasized.

This year, the title of Most Stylish Woman in the World went to actress Zoë Kravitz. The daughter of musician Lenny Kravitz and actress Lisa Bonet has long been considered the epitome of understated elegance. Journalists described her as the defining fashion icon of her generation — someone who remains modern without losing her individuality. Her aesthetic combines minimalism, comfort, and a hint of eccentricity.

«Think sheer slip dresses, striped Saint Laurent suits, Manolo mules, and worn-in T-shirts paired with shorts. Or imagine the cast of The Craft (1996) going on a shopping trip to The Row,» GQ wrote of her signature look.

In a surprising twist, the title of Most Stylish Man of the Year was awarded to 31-year-old singer Justin Bieber. According to GQ, the musician has become a defining force in contemporary street style. His outfits embody a blend of ease, confidence, and effortless irreverence.

«Bieber looks exactly like what an adult guy from Ontario who grew up on stage should look like — slides, baggy jeans, and bright sweatshirts from his own brand, Drew House. His style radiates an unfiltered sense of freedom,» the magazine noted.

31-year-old Canadian singer Justin Bieber sold his music catalog of nearly 300 songs in December 2022 for $200 million to Hipgnosis Songs Capital. According to the new documentary «TMZ Investigates: What Really Happened to Justin Bieber?»available on the Hulu streaming service, the decision was driven by serious financial difficulties the artist was facing.

According to TMZ executive producer Harvey Levin, although Bieber had earned between $500 million and $1 billion over his career, in 2022 he was on the brink of bankruptcy — partly due to debts following the cancellation of his Justice World Tour.

«Justin’s camp admits that in 2022, he was on the verge of financial collapse,» Levin stated. That’s why, he said, Bieber insisted on an urgent sale of his catalog despite his then-manager Scooter Braun’s advice to wait until January 2023 for tax benefits.

The film also mentions that Bieber spent large amounts during the tour, including maintaining eight buses, spending around $2 million to renovate one of them, flying private jets, and purchasing luxury real estate in cash.

Furthermore, the documentary notes that had Bieber completed the canceled tour, he could have earned an additional $90 million. However, it was stopped in September 2022 due to the singer’s health condition.

Rumors about trouble in Justin and Hailey Bieber’s relationship have flared up again. Recently, social media users noticed that the 30-year-old singer unfollowed the account of his 28-year-old wife. Along with her, he also unfollowed his father-in-law, Stephen Baldwin.

An insider from the Daily Mail shared how the singer’s ex-boyfriend, Canadian artist Justin Bieber, reacted to the news. Despite being married to model Hailey Bieber since 2018 and welcoming their son Jack Blues Bieber this year, Justin was reportedly taken aback by the announcement. He saw it as the definitive end of their long history together.

«Justin is married and has a child — we all know that. But when he heard about Selena’s engagement, he admitted it hit him for a second. Even though they’ll never be friends, date, or anything like that again, it’s officially the end of an era», the source noted.
