Justin Bieber Baffled Over His Own Beard: ‘I Prayed for This’

Justin Bieber is appreciating the little things in life.

The Swag singer opened up about his appearance on social media, where he expressed his pleasant surprise over one particular feature after waiting patiently to see results — his facial hair.

“Still can’t believe my beard is this long. I prayed for this beard lmfao,” Bieber, 31, captioned a black and white selfie he uploaded to Instagram on Tuesday, Sept. 16.

In the shot, Bieber’s beard is on full display (mustache and all). He also rocks a tiny studded nose ring in the pic and poses with his eyes directed off to the side with his eyebrows raised, giving a look of subtle disbelief.

The artist shared the photo just hours after he was announced as a Coachella 2026 headliner.

The musician has given fans several glimpses of his facial hair growth on Instagram over the past few months through his excessive social media posts.

For example, he rocked his beard and briefs while taking a spin on a Segway on Sept. 10.

Most recently, Bieber’s appearance was documented in studio photos posted around the release of his 21-track album, SWAG, in August.

He continued to share in the days surrounding the project’s surprise follow-up, SWAG II, which dropped on Sept. 5.

Earlier on Sept. 16, Bieber was announced as the Saturday night headliner for 2026 Coachella. Sabrina Carpenter and Karol G will headline on Friday and Sunday, respectively.

Bieber’s wife, Hailey Baldwin Bieber, whom he married in 2018, posted a photo of the official Coachella lineup on her Instagram Stories.

To show her support for her partner, she added a simple text overlay at the bottom of the screen: “BIEBERCHELLA!!!!!!!!! :).”
