Paris Hilton knows how to do Coachella right!

The star, 43, and reigning Queen of Coachella (tied only with music festival legend Vanessa Hudgens) joined Vampire Weekend’s set on Saturday, April 13 — and joined the band for a game of cornhole.

Clad in a cowboy hat, boots and massive sunnies, Hilton interrupted the “Campus” rockers to play the popular lawn game, preparing the audience with a warning: “I haven’t played this game since The Simple Life, so…”

Hilton — who starred on reality series from 2003 to 2007 alongside Nicole Richie — proceeded to channel her Simple Life self to play the game, which involves tossing bean bags into a rectangular, slanted board with a circular hole.

After missing the first, inching closer and just barely missing the second, she asked the audience, “Is it OK if I cheat?”

Met with a resounding “YES,” Hilton then dunked the bean bag right into the board’s hole and did a victory lap, her flowy black dress twirling.

She then hugged Vampire Weekend frontman Ezra Koenig before thanking the crowd and exiting the stage in style.

Hilton documented the fun cameo — and Simple Life callback — with an Instagram Reel, which she captioned, “Iconic moment with @VampireWeekend at @Coachella.”

“Love #TheSimpleLife Vibes,” she continued, and added hashtags “#Sliving” and “#CoachellaQueen.”

Later, Hilton kept the Coachella fun going by joining a DJ at the festival’s Absolut tent and taking the mic during her song, “Stars Are Blind.”

In a video she filmed from behind the DJ booth, the star said she was “sliving with Absolut,” before turning the camera to a cheering crowd.

Prior to the Indio, Calif., music festival this year, Hilton opened up to PEOPLE about her Queen of Coachella status, noting that she “was going years ago when nobody even hardly knew about it.”

“My schedule is so insane, I don’t even go out anymore,” the mom of two told PEOPLE. “I haven’t been to a party besides my birthday party at my house in a long time, so it’ll be fun.”

The star — like the rest of the world — was also looking forward to an ultra-’90s reunion. “I cannot wait to see No Doubt,” she said of the band, which played on Saturday night.

“I love Gwen Stefani. She’s such an icon and I’ve been obsessed with her music since I was a teenager,” she said, adding, “I was DMing her yesterday letting her know how excited I am to see her perform.”
