Anitta brought Brazil to the desert.
In her Coachella debut, not only the 29-year-old star bring the house down with her global hit, "Envolver," but she had a few tricks up her sleeve as well. Anitta brought out the big guns, with surprise guest appearances by Snoop Dogg, Saweetie and Diplo.
Snoop Dogg appeared on stage with over a dozen back-up dancers to introduce the Brazilian singer. "What’s up Coachella? Hello Latinos. Brazil!" she said dressed in a yellow, green and blue two-piece set she wore as an homage to her home country's flag. Every performance was a show-stopping one, complete with samba, funk and capoeira elements, according to Billboard.
Anitta and Snoop Dogg performed "Onda diferente" together — and the crowd went wild when Snoop twerked alongside Anitta in a hilarious, viral moment.

Saweetie took the stage to perform her duet "Faking Love" with Anitta. She only appeared for a few seconds to perform her verse on the hit song.
