Ariana Grande is making music history this summer, when she takes the main stage at Coachella.

As pointed out by her manager, Scooter Braun, the "Thank U, Next" singer will become the youngest artist to ever headline the festival in its 20-year history. The 25-year-old will also be Coachella's fourth female headliner, following Beyoncé, Lady Gaga and Björk; the latter act was the first woman to receive the top billing in 2007.

Festival organizers announced the 2019 lineup on Thursday. The event will be co-headlined by Childish Gambino and Tame Impala, and will include performances by Kid Cudi, J Balvin, Khalid, Juice WRLD, Playboi Carti, Ella Mai, Solange, and Gucci Mane Gang. Grande expressed her gratitude shortly after the lineup was announced.
