Not only did Beyoncé make history as the first Black woman to headline the festival, she also now holds the record for the most-viewed Coachella performance on the festival’s YouTube live stream.
via Billboard:
Beyonce’s two-hour performance — dubbed “Beychella” by fans — was streamed simultaneously by 458,000 viewers on YouTube worldwide. It all went down a year after Bey postponed her scheduled 2017 appearance due to her pregnancy with the twins, and it seems like the star-studded show — featuring a reunited Destiny’s Child and Bey’s husband JAY-Z and sister Solange — proved it was worth the wait.
This year was Coachella’s biggest yet on YouTube, with more than 43.1 million views and streams from 232 countries. The Coachella live stream was also the most-viewed live festival ever for the video platform.
We can’t wait to find out what she has in store for Coachella Weekend 2. Rumor has it her set may be streaming via Tidal this time.
