The master of stage charisma.
Geena Davis made a surprise appearance at Coachella’s second weekend on Friday, stepping into the shoes of an older Sabrina Carpenter during the musician’s performance.
The 70-year-old Oscar-winning actress, playfully referred to as “Aunt Sabrina,” delivered a charming monologue on a stage transformed into a retro drive-in movie setting.
Perched in a classic car from the 1950s, Davis sported a blonde hairstyle reminiscent of the 26-year-old Carpenter.
Adding to the fun, Corey Fogelmanis, known from Carpenter’s “Girl Meets World” days, took on the role of a server baffled by Davis’ payment method.
In the scene, Davis’ “older Sabrina” reflected on her younger years and how her niece has a hard time connecting the person she knows with the once youthful musician.
“What a moron. I was running around like that carefree, all hippity, skippity,” the “Beetlejuice” star began.
“It’s kind of a shame she never got to see me up onstage, maybe in a concert, in a arena or in a stadium in a foreign country,” Davis continued about her niece. “I would’ve had the label send a plane for her and her parents, and they could’ve just stayed down the hall from me.”
“And [eaten] in the most expensive restaurant in that city. It’s better she never saw me that way. It would’ve been weird,” she mused.
Fans immediately flocked to X to share their excitement at the special guest.
“the fact that susan sarandon and geena davis play THELMA AND LOUISE?!?! LIKE DO YOU GUYS GET HOW ICONIC THIS IS!!!!! #sabchella,” one viewer gushed.
A second chimed in: “GEENA DAVIS SPECIAL GUEST… WE GOT THELMA AND LOUISE IN 2026 ON THE COACHELLA MAIN STAGE.”
Davis’ cameo comes on the heels of Carpenter’s week one performance, where she brought out Sarandon, who starred in the 1991 cult classic, “Thelma & Louise,” with Davis.
The film followed two best friends who go on a cross country crime spree together.
Sarandon, 79, delivered the same monologue — only slightly longer.
Carpenter’s weekend one set also featured Will Ferrell as an electrician dragging a power cable across the stage and Sam Elliott as a cryptic cop warning Carpenter not to head to California.
Samuel L. Jackson also lent his voice to a reworked moment during “Juno,” commanding: “Hello, Coachella … I am here to take you motherf—ers on this journey to relaxation.”
Weekend two saw Terry Crews recreating his iconic “White Chicks” scene by singing Vanessa Carlton’s “A Thousand Miles.”
Stealing the show was Madonna, who came out to perform sections of “Vogue” and “Like a Prayer” with Carpenter.
The music icon’s cameo marked 20 years since her own headlining set at Coachella in 2006.
“Wow, thank you … Sabrina, thank you so much for inviting me on your show,” Madonna gushed, to which Carpenter replied, “No thanks needed, Madonna,” as the pair held hands.
The “Material Girl” crooner called it “a thrill to be back.”
“It’s a full circle moment, you know? Very meaningful for me.”
