- Kylie Jenner admits ‘I should never have come’ to Coachella as lip reader details sad exchange (themirror.com)
Kylie Jenner seemed to express some regret about attending Coachella, quietly confiding to a friend that she “should never have come” to the festival.
The 28-year-old, along with her sister Kendall Jenner, 30, made an appearance at Coachella’s opening day at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California-a yearly tradition for the duo. They were seen enjoying themselves at the 818 Outpost, an event hosted by Kendall’s tequila brand, where they mingled with sister Kourtney Kardashian and friend Fai Khadra.
While supporting longtime friend Justin Bieber, Kylie was photographed wearing a bold t-shirt featuring the singer before departing on her private jet. Despite the lively atmosphere, an expert lip reader who observed the sisters noted that Kylie appeared uncomfortable during the event.
Acclaimed lip reader Nicola Hickling shared insights on Kylie and Kendall’s brief conversation at the outpost. According to Hickling, Kylie seemed reluctant to be there, quietly telling Kendall, “I’m here by myself… how mean… I should never have come,” after being asked if she was okay and if she wanted a drink. Kendall offered reassurance, encouraging her to stay and have a drink together.
Nicola highlighted a noticeable undercurrent of tension between the sisters, describing Kylie’s demeanor as “uncomfortable and slightly isolated,” with a consistent sense of awkwardness throughout the interaction.
Notably, Kylie attended Coachella without her boyfriend, actor Timothée Chalamet, who was present with her at the festival last year. His absence is likely due to professional commitments, as he is scheduled to appear at CinemaCon 2026 in Las Vegas next week to participate in a panel for the upcoming film Dune: Part Three, which may have required his full attention.
While Kylie’s presence at Coachella was marked by support for friends and family, it seems the experience was more subdued for her personally this year.
