Beyoncé during her performance at Coachella
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.
That's because Beyoncé dazzled audiences and made history as the first black woman to headline the festival.
In addition to being the top trending artist for Coachella on Twitter, the 36 year old artist can add another record to her list: her set was the most-viewed Coachella performance on the fest's YouTube live stream.
Beyoncé's two-hour performance - dubbed "Beychella" by fans - was streamed simultaneously by 458,000 viewers on YouTube worldwide.
Scholarships
Following her landmark performance, Beyoncé offered $100,000 in scholarship money to students at four historically black colleges and universities.
The Homecoming Scholars Award Program for the 2018-19 academic year will give away $25,000 in scholarship money to the students.
Beyoncé's performance at the Coachella festival was billed as a homage to education and black American culture, featuring a marching band, performance art, choir and dance.
She was supported by more than 150 performers on stage.
