Beyonce's Coachella performance was most streamed in YouTube history

The singer set a YouTube record with 458,000 simultaneous viewers. TMZ pointed out that it's the most ever for a single Coachella performance since YouTube started streaming the festival eight years ago.

She shattered the previous record, set last year, by Lady Gaga. Coincidentally, Gaga only played Coachella last year after Bey canceled because she was due to give birth to her and Jay-Z's twins. Beyonce's streaming audience was 75 percent larger than Gaga's.

MZ said the festival did insanely well, in general having generated 43.1 million live stream views in 232 countries. This year's Coachella is now the most-viewed live music festival ever on YouTube.

One of those viewers was none other than Adele, who happily let the world know that she was watching her "idol" Beyonce.

Crazy super fans!
