Hailey Bieber Subtly Shuts Down Justin Bieber Coachella Critics
Hailey Bieber subtly clapped back at criticism of husband Justin Bieber’s 2026 Coachella performance, which some fans felt to be lackluster, confirming she was “SO proud.”
Hailey Bieber rhode for her man.
While Justin Bieber’s nostalgia-filled Coachella 2026 performance has been met with mixed reviews from online, Hailey clapped back at the haters.
“Such a special weekend,” the rhode beauty founder captioned an April 13 carousel of snaps from Coachella’s first weekend. “Nobody will ever know even an ounce of what it’s taken to get here. so grateful for this beautiful life. SO proud. let’s do it all again!!!!”
Included in carousel was a picture of Hailey and Justin holding their son Jack Blues Bieber, 19 months, on the music festival grounds, followed by snaps of Hailey and the toddler dancing as they watched Justin’s sound check form an otherwise empty field.
To cap it off the series was a snap of baby Jack’s arm sporting a custom Inked by Dani temporary tattoo with the word “Bieberchella” written in a barbed wire heart—the name Justin’s fans affectionately lent this year’s festival for his debut as a Coachella headliner.
And in case anyone still wasn’t clear on how Hailey feels about her husband’s performance—which at one point saw Justin sing along to his original YouTube videos—the 29-year-old also reposted a TikTok review from Traitors alum Gabby Windey.

“I thought Justin Bieber’s set at Coachella was perfect,” Gabby said in her April 13 video. “Some say he didn’t do enough. He did. He did more than enough. What are we here to see, him walking on Mars?”The Bachelorette star continued, “And then his YouTube DJ set—it was like we were all in the living room together watching music videos, and he was the one with the clicker. Intimate, connecting, romantic, some may say.”
Justin’s time on the Coachella stage—to which he will return for weekend two on April 25—marked his first major, full-set performance since his Justice World Tour in 2022.And he made the most of his return, making sure to give his loved ones a sweet shoutout as he sang his 2025 track “Everything Hallelujah.”“Mom and Dad, hallelujah,” he sang directly into the camera as seen in a clip shared to X. “Hailey babe, hallelujah. Baby Jack, hallelujah.”
But while some fans criticized Justin, as Gabby noted, for not doing “enough” on the desert stage, there were many Beliebers who were thrilled with the performance.
“He seemed genuinely happy, how is that not enough,” one user commented under Gabby’s video, while American Idol’s Lauren Alaina added, “He showed up…? Like that’s enough for me honey.”A third fan echoed, “If you didn’t enjoy his performance you were never a true fan and this wasn’t for you.”
