Billie Eilish’s Mom Maggie Baird Thanks Justin Bieber for Serenading Her Daughter at Coachella 2026

Justin Bieber made Billie Eilish’s childhood dream come true when he serenaded her on stage at Coachella Weekend 2 — and the moment meant just as much to her mom.

After Justin, 32, invited Eilish, 24, up on stage at Indio, California, during his second headlining performance at Coachella 2026 on Saturday, April 18, Eilish’s mom Maggie Baird took to Instagram to reflect on watching her daughter from within the crowd.

“One of the most touching moments ever,” Baird, 67, wrote alongside a carousel of photos and videos from the evening. “It sounds crazy, but we watch our children develop these deep deep connections to artists who move them and usually there’s nothing in our power to do. But we buy them records and maybe buy them a ticket to a concert (or a movie of a concert in our case because we couldn’t afford to see an actual concert).”

Baird included footage of a crying Eilish standing in disbelief beside her as she prepared to be Justin’s “One Less Lonely Girl” — a tradition Justin has long undertaken that involves pulling a fan up on stage to be serenaded as he performs his 2009 track.

“I’m so grateful to Justin Bieber for the kindness he has shown Billie,” Baird continued. “And to Hailey [Bieber] who makes so many things wonderful and possible.” (Hailey, 29, has been married to Justin since September 2018 and the couple share son Jack, 1.)

Hailey responded twice to Baird’s post, writing “❤️ you guys!” before adding, “so special.”

As for Eilish, who has served as a dedicated Justin fan since she was about 12 years old, the singer took to her own Instagram Stories to reflect on the experience. Sharing a bleary eyed selfie, snapped while lying down and only capturing the top half of her face, the “Birds of a Feather” hitmaker pasted the text, “Can’t stop crying.”

Justin, who returned to weekend 2 of Coachella after receiving mixed reviews over his weekend 2 performance, shocked fans by welcoming Eilish to the stage on Saturday. As Baird’s post documented, the crowd went wild as Eilish was accompanied to the stage’s entrance by Hailey before falling into a heap several times and receiving a warm embrace by Justin.

Eilish told Billboard in 2021 that Justin has provided significant support as she navigates life as a pop star. “He’s a good friend of mine,” she told the outlet at the time. “He, you know, has been so helpful for me, in terms of just, like, dealing with fame. And he’ll call me sometimes and just say stuff that makes me just feel heard, and like there’s somebody else that goes through the same stuff. So it’s really nice to have him.”
