When Ariana Grande premiered her music video for “thank u, next” it became such a big thing that at one point it hit 829,000 concurrent viewers, making a record for Premieres on YouTube. But that isn’t the only record the video broke. According to a tweet from Team YouTube, "the thank u, next video was so good, it broke the internet (or at least delayed YouTube comments from posting for a bit)." The video now has over 82 million views but at the time it came out, it pulled out so many commenters that YouTube just couldn’t keep up with them all.
This isn’t the only big thing for Ariana on YouTube. She has a four-part docuseries airing on the streaming service that documents here recent Dangerous Woman tour, which shows her life on the road (including the time after the tragic Manchester attack) and entire songs from the shows. It’s being released for free weekly here, but all episodes are also available for YouTube Red subscribers to watch now.
