THE WEEKND SPENT MONEY ON SUPER BOWL TV

And although he appeared in videos and TV performances late last year with his head swathed in bandages or with exaggerated plastic surgery - a visual statement he explained exclusively to Variety last week - he looked natural and sported just a mustache and a light beard, along with a pair of square sunglasses that he soon discarded. In the week leading up to the game, the Weeknd had said that his main stage would be located in the stands - although he would utilize the field as well - and that it would continue the cryptic bad-night-in-Las-Vegas storyline that has accompanied all of the videos and TV performances around his blockbuster latest album, “After Hours.” All of those things proved true (although the connection to the storyline was even more cryptic than ever), but references to previous albums were present as well. The Super Bowl Halftime show is the biggest stage on Earth for a musician, and the Weeknd made the most of his 12-odd minutes on Sunday night, delivering a tightly choreographed, technologically dazzling set that not only lived up to some of the most iconic performances of the past, it also touched on songs and images from all across his decade-long career - and he did it under strict pandemic restrictions, before a stadium that was approximately one-tenth full.
