Maybe the first bad sign was when Kanye pulled out. Or when influencers started complaining about getting left out of Revolve Fest like their parents had uninvited them to Thanksgiving. But we all definitely knew something was majorly wrong by the time Remi Bader posted the (now-iconic) TikTok of her crying on a pedicab on a dusty, very bumpy road somewhere in the desert. Coachella 2022 is, somehow, not it.
"It's definitely giving Fyre Festival vibes," Tahnee Cook, a 27-year-old Coachella attendee, told Cosmopolitan. You may have seen Cook on TikTok, where she's been keeping followers updated on the attempted recovery of her iPhone, which was stolen, alongside dozens of others, at this year's festival. (Security, Cook added, was less than helpful.)
As Cook told Cosmo, she's been flying to the U.S. from her home in Sydney, Australia to attend Coachella for the past five years, and this year's fest is notably more chaotic. You've noticed it too, right? Coachella chaos—including the reported influencer drama at Revolve Fest—is bleeding into all of our TikTok feeds, and we're only halfway through the lineup. Some of the viral hits from last weekend include: Bader crying on the pedicab, Cook's stolen phone, a pink-haired influencer in a parking lot changing into an oversized liquor store T-shirt after not making it into Revolve Fest, and hours-long merch lines.
