Well, we all saw it coming. That much anticipated Beyonce Coachella headliner moment won’t happen…well, this year anyway.

After the multiple-Grammy winning pop star announced that she was expecting twins this summer, Coachella music festival ticket holders become nervous. She could cancel. Or perform in a chair the entire time and therefore, they would not get a chance to experience Sasha Fierce at her fiercest.

The biggest fear is now real.

Beyoncé will not perform at this year’s Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, the festival announced on its Facebook.

“Following the advice of her doctors to keep a less rigorous schedule in the coming months, Beyoncé has made the decision to forgo performing at the 2017 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival,” the statement on the festival’s Facebook page read.

The “Lemonade” singer was scheduled to perform over two weekends at the festival on April 15 and 22.

She will be there next year, however! So, there’s that. The organizers of the Indio, California-located fest have not said which act would replace her.

And let’s not forget there are other headliners include Radiohead and rapper Kendrick Lamar. However, the festival has already seen a dip in ticket sales by 12% following the news. Pooh! That’s star power!

If you haven’t let a little thing like the fact that you’re a little pregnant get in the way of your plans to head to a music festival this Spring and you’re trying to figure out how to fit in with all the crop tops, daisy dukes and cutoffs and still look hip, we’ve got an idea. Consider investing in a loose-fitting screen-T with a cool phrase written on the front to distract from your bun in the oven? Local Celebrity, Zoe Karssen, Rebel Yell, Blue and Cream, Chaser LA and other brands make pretty awesome shirts that you can get in a size up.

Pair the T’s with a BoHo skirt or cropped denims, some round aviators, a fringe bag and combat boots and you’re good to go.

If this is your first kid, this may be your last frolick to a music festival carefree in a long time, so you might as well go out with a bang. Have fun, but be safe and stay clear from the front of the stage where it can get rough and tumble. Hydrate and avoid standing in the mist and rain for too long. Carry protein snacks like trail mix and granola bars in your side satchel so you can munch on when the food line is too long. Don’t starve baby and by all means make sure your blood sugar doesn’t dip too low. Carry hand sanitizer and use it often as it can get a bit unsanitary as you know out in a dusty field.

Also, go early so you can get a spot close to the johns and parking, if possible. By now, you know you make a lot more trips to the john than before.

Have fun and be safe!
