"Coachella. Are you ready my hotties (sexy girls)", nickname that she gives to her fans, she launched to an avalanche of applause at the opening of her first show at one of the festivals most-watched music videos in a futuristic silver thong bodysuit and molded corset.

The 27-year-old did a retrospective of her hits, including 'Big Ole Freak' and 'Body', but instead of her razor-sharp delivery - which sometimes lagged on the backtrack - it was her dance moves made possible by incredibly strong thighs that stole the show.

"I walk and talk like a pimp because I am," Houston-born, Grammy-winning rapper Megan Pete spat as she strutted across the stage.

“Where are my hotties?” she shouted at the crowd, like a nod to her song “Hot girl summer”, released in 2019 which had propelled her to fame.

Hair fluttering and twerks slamming even louder than her bars, Megan lived up to her Queen of Hotties status, getting suggestive with the mic and drawing the screams of the crowd with dance moves mimicking fellatio.

"Ladies, if you love your body, make some noise!" she ordered.

"Bombs"

About halfway through her show, she disappeared for more than five minutes, returning to the stage in another fishnet bodysuit paired with turquoise, knee-high, disco-style boots.

"It's my first time at Coachella, and I'm ready to tear it all up with you!" she said.

"We are going to tear everything up like in 2019".

Megan Thee Stallion then asked her legions of fans to wave their cellphone lights, before launching into her latest collaboration with Dua Lipa, "Sweetest Pie."

And as promised at the beginning of the month, the rapper unveiled a new title which has no official name yet.

But if the lyrics, and the dance moves, have anything to do with the title, the title might be "Dick Don't Run Me," an emancipation anthem bashing ex-lovers.

"Thank you to the...bombs, because without the bombs...there would be no hot girl culture," she shouted.

She closed her show with "Savage", the single from her "Suga" EP, which went viral on TikTok before being remixed by Beyonce.

This hit is one of the biggest hits of 2020, despite being released during the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic in the United States.

Megan Thee Stallion was the last act before headlining Billie Eilish.

She left the stage as images of fire projected behind her.

Declaring herself forever "coach of sexy girls", she had a few words for the detractors.

"If you don't know me, ask your lover to tell you about me," she said, a bit provocatively.
