The Instagram in question is an image that not even Ellen DeGeneres, she of the [record-breaking celeb selfie](http://100photos.time.com/photos/bradley-cooper-oscars-selfie) — could have dreamed of — bringing together the unlikely but deservedly buzzworthy likes of Shania Twain, Nicki Minaj, The Weeknd, Quavo, French Montana, and sweet, tender Timothée Chalamet. It appears that the gravity of the moment was not lost on the celebs themselves, with Minaj, Twain, and the Weeknd taking to their Instagrams to post the same photo. Feast your eyes on this celebrity mélange below and let your soul be filled with an overwhelming sense of wonder at the ways in which the universe brings people together. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5241917/shania-twain-nicki-minaj-instagram-coachella-2018/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5241917/shania-twain-nicki-minaj-instagram-coachella-2018/"},"headline":"This Epic Coachella Photo Features Your Unlikely New Favorite Celebrity Crew","datePublished":"2018-04-16T17:58:49.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:52:12.694Z","description":"This year's Coachella brought us an epic celeb Instagram: bringing together the likes of Shania Twain, Nicki Minaj...and Timothee Chalamet.","url":"https://time.com/5241917/shania-twain-nicki-minaj-instagram-coachella-2018/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt03b776b9d598bf0a/69892dbc929fad50fabf0462/coachella-2018-shania-twain-nicki-minaj-instagram.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt03b776b9d598bf0a/69892dbc929fad50fabf0462/coachella-2018-shania-twain-nicki-minaj-instagram.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"2018 Coachella Valley Music And Arts Festival - Weekend 1 - Day 1","caption":"2018 Coachella Valley Music And Arts Festival - Weekend 1 - Day 1","creditText":"Christopher Polk—Getty Images for Coachella","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5241917/shania-twain-nicki-minaj-instagram-coachella-2018/","name":"This Epic Coachella Photo Features Your Unlikely New Favorite Celebrity Crew"}}]}] ```
