TAMPA, FLORIDA – FEBRUARY 04: In this image released on February 7th, The Weeknd rehearses for the Super Bowl LV Halftime Show at Raymond James Stadium on February 04, 2021 in Tampa, Florida. (Photo by Kevin Mazur\/Getty Images for TW)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Weeknd<\/a>‘s dazzling Super Bowl Half Time<\/a> display has been met with both celebration and criticism, with some Twitter observers dubbing it “the best halftime performance I’ve ever heard and seen,” while others \u2013 namely Queer Eye<\/em>‘s Karamo Brown<\/a> \u2013 were left “disappointed” by the display. The show, which reportedly saw The Weeknd sink more than $9 million of his own money into the theatrics, had a Las Vegas theme, complete with pyrotechnics and a whole lot of neon.<\/p>\n

It began with The Weeknd emerging from between the, ahem<\/em>, blinding lights to kick off the performance with Starboy<\/em>, wearing a red sequin blazer, slim trousers and black and white brogues. The 30-year-old continued to keep the hits coming, launching into more of his back catalogue plus a few newer tracks, including The Hills, Save Your Tears, <\/em>and\u00a0Can’t Feel My Face<\/em>, the latter of which featured masked dancers.<\/p>\n
