Sunday (February 7) marked one of the biggest nights in sports and entertainment – Super Bowl LV. And celebs can’t stop raving about The Weeknd’s Super Bowl Halftime performance.
The Weeknd rocked the Super Bowl Halftime stage performing a medley of his biggest hits – including “Call Out My Name,” “Starboy,” “The Hills,” “I Can’t Feel My Face,” “I Feel It Coming,” “Save Your Tears,” closing it out with “Blinding Lights.”
With OTT sets that lit up in time with the music, pyrotechnics, and an army of musicians and dancers to back him up, it appears The Weeknd definitely did not hold back when it came to staging his performance – he reportedly shelled out $7 Million of his own money into the show.
