The Weeknd’s Epic Super Bowl Halftime Performance
Grammy-winning singer The Weeknd put on a halftime performance people won’t soon forget. For nearly 15 minutes, the Toronto native slayed the stage and field performing some of his most classic hits dating back to the early 2010’s.
He opened with “Starboy” and “The Hills.” When he did “Can’t Feel My Face,” he went into a tight mirrored corridor accompanied by a bunch of people with their faces bandaged up. He reemerged for “I Feel It Coming” and “Save Your Tears.” A string section joined him for “Earned It.” The Weeknd and his dancers hit the field for “House of Balloons” (yes—a Siouxsie and the Banshees sample played at the Super Bowl) and then a massive performance of “Blinding Lights.” (Pitchfork)
