To say Beyoncé's performance at Coachella was historic feels like an understatement. In about the span of a week, Queen Bey released a two hour Netflix exclusive film (part one of her deal with the streamer) of the entire concert, a 40-track live album from the same show, which was released unexpectedly, and just for fun, she released her 2016 pop culture smash album "Lemonade" on all streaming platforms, which was originally exclusive to just Tidal.
Let's not forget Bey's Coachella set was months in the making, required about 200 peopleincluding dancers, musicians, and backup-singers, surprise appearances from Jay-Z, Destiny's Child, and Solange, and it marked the first time an African American female headlined the 20-year old festival. So, yeah, it's beyond historic.
