Canadian R&B Awareness The Weeknd put on a spectacular half-time show at the 55th Super Bowl.
The singer played a medley of the most popular song, “Can’t Feel My Face,” “Earned It” and his latest album, “Blinding Lights.” The show garnered a lot of attention on social media with its back dancer looking like “robots” to the mirror circuit.

There was also a series in his performance in which he moved wildly around a bright clear mirror while the camera captured a close-up view. Netizens quickly sent memes and jokes inspired from the series.
While many thought the singer looked lost, others used the series to describe their most flexible feelings. Check it out here:

Due to the chronic COVID-19 infection and the warning, the artist played on their own, and fans were not allowed to roam the field, as had happened in previous games. According to a CNN report, the artist spent about $ 7 million of his own money on the half-time exhibition.
The Super Bowl LV Tampa Bay Buccaneers saw the victory at the Kansas City Chiefs American Football Conference conference, 31–9.
