It’s just a damn good week to be Ciara.

When not raking in praise from Coachella viewers who are still raving about her weekend performance with Megan Thee Stallion (April 13), the GRAMMY-winning songstress is seeing her latest single ‘Ecstasy‘ blow up on social media thanks to the popular “defying gravity” challenge.
