While yesterday’s Super Bowl didn’t wind up breaking the ratings record of last year’s game, the most-watched event in American TV history (Super Bowl 50 ranks #2), the heavily hyped halftime show dominated Twitter traffic, with an astounding 3.9 million tweets generated — 1.3 million of them focused specifically on Beyoncé (774,000 tweets referenced Coldplay, while 341,000 were about Bruno Mars).
