Beyoncé proved naysayers wrong over the weekend during her performance at Coachella.

She delivered a performance that simultaneously compensated for last year's cancellation and exceeded everyone's expectations. She quickly ended up receiving comparisons Michael Jackson after her performance. While many were only convinced of that after her set, Ty Dolla $ign came to this realization after watching her on the "Formation" tour.

"I saw her Formation tour. [DJ] Khaled actually brought me out on his set a couple times on that tour." He said, "First of all, it was the most amazing show I've seen in my life. When I was a kid and I used to watch Michael Jackson on TV like seeing Beyonce live, it gave me those vibes of just like, the greatest performer ever. Just the greatest stage set, just everything about it. From her vocals to her dancing to all the attributesm she got it goin'."
