    In case you've been living under a rock: The first weekend of Coachella just went down in Indio, California.

    One of the many artists who performed at the festival was pop star, actor, and all-around Gen Z icon Reneé Rapp.

    Of course, Coachella and surprise guests go together like peanut butter and jelly — and Reneé continued the tradition by bringing out Kesha, who performed her 2010 single "Tik Tok" with Reneé at her side.

    Kesha even wore a tank top that said "I'm Mother."

    Let's go back to "Tik Tok" for a second. The song's extremely memorable first lyric is "Wake up in the mornin' / Feelin' like P. Diddy."

    The lyric is a reference to Sean "Diddy" Combs, the music mogul who is currently facing multiple alleged sexual assault lawsuits.

    So, for her appearance with Reneé, Kesha changed the lyrics up very noticeably, with a middle finger raised: "Wake up in the morning like / Fuck P. Diddy."

    I love women so much like you don’t understand how important kesha and reneé rapp are to me. I listened to tiktok on my hello kitty mp3 player on the way to school every morning and now I listen to reneé on my way to work and it’s all full circle and very gay and beautiful. pic.twitter.com/Fe1Vt14BdN
