00:00 Grimes is apologizing after technical issues at her 2024 Coachella performance.
00:06 Grimes, who shares three children with ex Elon Musk, shares a lengthy apology on social
00:13 media after her DJ set at Coachella on April 14.
00:18 The artist, whose real name is Claire Boucher, writes on ex, formerly known as Twitter, after
00:24 her set, saying, quote, "I want to apologize for the technical issues
00:29 with the show tonight.
00:30 I want it to come back really strong and usually I always handle every aspect of my show myself.
00:38 To save time, this was one of the first times I've outsourced essential things like record
00:44 box BPMs and letting someone else organize the tracks on the SD card, etc."
00:51 And the singer, who was seen yelling several times throughout her set in videos shared
00:56 to social media, adds that the malfunction provided a learning experience for her.
01:02 "I had a bad feeling beforehand not having run everything through the CDJS myself, and
01:09 though I flagged it, I wasn't insistent.
01:12 The big lesson for me was a mix of 1.
01:14 If you want it done right, do it yourself.
01:17 2.
01:18 Be a c**k even if people feel bad.
01:21 3.
01:22 You can pretend it's fine and engage with the crowd rather than spend a whole show slumped
01:27 over the desk trying to fix software when you're meant to be entertaining."
01:32 Grimes promises to come back better for her second performance at Weekend 2 of the Desert
01:37 Festival on April 20th.
01:40 The 36-year-old continues, "I will personally organize all the files next week.
01:46 I will not let such a thing happen again.
01:49 I've spent months on this show, making music and visuals, and admittedly am not in the
01:55 best mood at the moment.
01:58 But yeah, next week will be flawless.
02:01 Everything will run through my hands."
02:03 "I'm not in the best mood at the moment.
02:04 But yeah, next week will be flawless.
02:05 Everything will run through my hands."
02:05 "I'm not in the best mood at the moment.
02:06 But yeah, next week will be flawless."
02:06 "I'm not in the best mood at the moment.
02:07 But yeah, next week will be flawless."
02:08 "I'm not in the best mood at the moment."
02:10 "I'm not in the best mood at the moment."
