Then one day, David’s team hit me up asking if I was gonna be there—and if I’d want to go up on stage. Of course I said yes! I didn’t really feel nervous at first, but the moment I stepped into the crowd and felt the whole Coachella energy, I was like, &#x27;Okay… now I’m nervous.&#x27; But I just reminded myself to enjoy it, have fun, and be in the moment. It’s not every day you get to perform at Coachella, so I really tried to take it all in,” she shared with <strong>PUSH ABS-CBN. </strong></p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-22" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DKZtDbGyCnL/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A22%2C%22os%22%3A1023910%2C%22ls%22%3A67089.70000000019%2C%22le%22%3A67543.5%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="746" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-22" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/5/30/exclusive-niana-guerrero-reveals-why-she-hasn-t-joined-showbiz-yet-1022"><strong>READ: EXCLUSIVE: Niana Guerrero reveals why she hasn’t joined showbiz yet</strong></a></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-24" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DLNUJozyCJY/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A24%2C%22os%22%3A1065611.9000000004%2C%22ls%22%3A67089.70000000019%2C%22le%22%3A67543.5%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="612" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-24" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Apart from being able to perform at Coachella, Niana also got another blessing this year after being launched as Potato Corner’s first-ever Gen Z ambassador.</p><p>“It really made me realize that even the things that seem so far away like Coachella or even this Potato Corner collab can actually happen. I used to just imagine stuff like that, but by staying true to what I love like music and dance it’s like things just align. It reminded me to keep going, keep showing up as me, and the right things will find their way. Grateful always. Potato Corner was always part of my childhood.</p><p>&quot;After dance practice or school, we’d look for their booth. It was a small treat we looked forward to. I never imagined I’d be working with them one day. It’s such a full circle moment, and I don’t take that for granted,” she admitted.</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-26" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DJ1OVSuSPHc/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A26%2C%22os%22%3A1093535.2000000002%2C%22ls%22%3A67089.70000000019%2C%22le%22%3A67543.5%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="746" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-26" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/4/20/niana-guerrero-makes-coachella-stage-debut-with-d4vd-1452"><strong>READ: Niana Guerrero makes Coachella stage debut with d4vd</strong></a></div><div><br/></div><p>As a talented dancer and content creator, Niana also shared what other goals she wants to achieve in the future.</p><p>“I’m still figuring it out, but I do want to grow more—like train in different styles, collaborate with more artists, maybe try new things outside of dance too.
