    See the fans of Coachella Weekend 1 in photos including Taylor Swift and Paris Hilton

    Yeah, she was there.

    Taylor Swift , with beau Travis Kelce in tow, was a part of the throng that found themselves in Indio, California for the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival's first weekend.

    The first two days saw multiple surprises, including Shakira announcing a world tour during an appearance with Bizzarap, Childish Gambino appearing with Tyler, the Creator and a country-tinged set from notably Yankee band Vampire Weekend.

    The vibes were not immaculate as the Saturday set by T-Pain drew crowds that filled the Heineken House, leading to a massive line outside of the venue. T-Pain is currently scheduled to only play the first weekend.

    Saturday's main stage leaned on 90's reunions as the line-up saw Sublime, Blur and No Doubt take the crowd back to the glory days of Los Angeles alt-rock station KROQ.

    Here are some of the best photos of the fans at Coachella Weekend 1.
