Tate McRae initially rose to fame as a dancer.

The 18-year-old enjoyed breakthrough musical success in early 2020 when her moody single, "You Broke Me First," began climbing the charts. She now incorporates her professional dance background into her live shows.

McRae previously teased her show-stopping "All My Friends Are Fake" choreography on TikTok. The video has since racked up nearly three million views.

Billie Eilish opened her headlining set on Friday with her famous backbend.

Eilish is known for contorting her body while performing her 2019 single "Bury a Friend."

Later, she interrupted her own performance to call out security in the crowd.

King Princess said Gov Ball is her favorite festival to play.

"I used to come here every year in high school, blackout drunk," quipped the 22-year-old "Cheap Queen" singer.

Megan Thee Stallion drew one of the weekend's biggest crowds.

Though she wasn't billed as a headliner, fans flocked to Megan Thee Stallion's main stage performance on Saturday, where she captivated the crowd with nimble raps and hypnotic dance moves.

"I'm blessed that I've always felt confident in who I am, both inside and out, but it's always a journey for me and I think that's true for everyone," the rapper previously told Insider.

She performed hits like "WAP" and "Savage."

Insider previously ranked both "WAP" (No. 16) and "Savage" (No. 2) on our list of 2020's best songs.

Phoebe Bridgers' moving performance was full of songs from her sophomore album, "Punisher."

Insider previously ranked "Punisher" at No. 4 on our list of 2020's best albums.

J Balvin opened with his global smash hit "Mi Gente."

J Balvin made history as Gov Ball's first Latino headliner in its 10-year history.

A$AP Rocky launched his performance by crowd-surfing inside of an inflatable car.

Before the headliner arrived, members of his rap collective A$AP Mob jumped into the crowd wearing masks and riled up the fans.

Rocky performed hits like "A$AP Forever" and "Sundress."

At one point during his late-night set, Rihanna arrived in the VIP area to support her boyfriend.

Dominic Fike jumped into the photo pit during his performance of "Phone Numbers."

The 25-year-old rising star has collaborated with artists like Paul McCartney, Halsey, and Remi Wolf.

Carly Rae Jepsen delighted the crowd with songs like "Run Away With Me" and "Call Me Maybe."

Insider previously named "Run Away With Me" one of the eight best songs of the 2010s.

Jepsen's breakout hit, "Call Me Maybe," is one of just 58 songs in history that's been certified diamond by the RIAA.

Jepsen closed with the dance floor anthem "Cut to the Feeling."

Young Thug enjoyed a raucous and devoted crowd, despite taking the stage more than one hour late.

Young Thug was originally scheduled to begin performing at 7 p.m.

Shortly before, festivalgoers received a notification that his set had been postponed 15 minutes, but the "Jeffery" rapper did not take the stage until 8:05 p.m.

Post Malone began his headlining set from an elevated runway.

The Grammy nominee opened with hits "Wow" and "Better Now." His varied setlist included songs like the groovy "Circles," guitar ballad "Stay," and trap banger "White Iverson."

"Music is becoming so genre-less and just so liquid and anything can be anything," he previously told Insider. "Just stepping out of comfort zones and maybe doing rock, maybe doing country, maybe putting it all together with all different sorts of genres I think is cool — because there is no genre and it's just music at that point."

He closed the festival with two of his biggest hits: "Rockstar" and "Congratulations."

Insider previously ranked "Congratulations" at No. 66 on our list of the decade's best songs.
