Even though he has millions of listeners all over the world, Justin Bieber knows exactly who his number one fan is: wife Hailey Bieber. For proof just look to an Instagram post from the “Butterflies” singer on Tuesday (April 21), which kicks off with the happy couple sharing a sweet kiss backstage at Coachella during weekend two.

The captionless pic post also included snaps of the singer rolling around on a giant backstage couch, hugging his surprise guest SZA (who joined him for the acoustic remix of her song “Snooze”) and chilling off stage with a cup of tea.
Bieber’s posting spree also included a few shots of his collab with Dijon on his SWAG track “Devotion” from his main stage headlining set on weekend two and a series of snaps with rapper Big Sean, who joined Bieber for runs through the 2012 Believe song “As Long As You Love Me” and the 2015 Purpose song “No Pressure.” Sean commented on the carousel, writing, “What a journey its been bro.” The series also featured a throwback picture from the Believe era of the two men sharing a stage.
After the big weekend, Big Sean gave Justin his flowers for his dedication to his craft. “Before I get off stage, I just wanna say you know God has his hands on you,” Sean wrote on X. “You dedicated your whole life to this, you gave us your whole life. I think I speak for everyone when I say thank you, bro. Directly or indirectly, I think you showed us what purpose was.”
Bieber’s catalog has seen a huge surge since his two-weekend Coachella adventure, with his 12-year-old Journals album debuting at No. 111 on the Billboard 200 album chart, marking the previously iTunes Store-only release’s first official Billboard charting. It was one of seven albums (including five re-entries) that charted in the wake of the sets, marking the most charting albums at once in Bieber’s career.
In addition, Bieber’s solo catalog had a massive streaming surge after his April 11 Coachella set, which sent many of his classic hits back to the Billboard charts dated April 25. Bieber’s catalog racked up 160.2 million chart-contributing on-demand official U.S. streams in the April 10-16 tracking week, according to Luminate, a 172% increase from the previous week (April 3-9), when his catalog earned 58.8 million streams.
