It’s also difficult to understand why only one small section of the stadium had fireworks shot out during the beat drop of this song. “The Hills” became a more despondent and nostalgic performance in terms of style executed, the rhythm, and the colors associated with it. The lights calm down, smoke rises, and any energy and excitement that was created during the first song quickly dies down.
However, the production of this segment set the mood as upbeat and retro, a complete mismatch compared to his next song, “The Hills,” which begins on more of a low note. It’s clear that he’s trying to tell his own journey through Hollywood and what he imagines being a popstar would look and feel like. He starts off with one of his first hit songs, “Starboy,” while being backed up by a gospel-style choir. After an exciting and ominous opening, the stands diverge in a halo of bright light as The Weeknd appears. The performance starts off with The Weeknd, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, in a glamorous and bright set, reminiscent of Las Vegas nightlife. This year, the stage belongs to music’s man of mystery, The Weeknd, whose songs and lyrics resemble an art form in itself as he looks to recreate the story of how Hollywood changes you. Some of the biggest artists in music have graced that field, from legends like Michael Jackson and Prince, to modern pop singers Katy Perry and Bruno Mars. The Super Bowl halftime performance has been a long-standing tradition that’s been coveted for three decades now. TRL’s Ryan Wang says that “it would have been beneficial if The Weeknd had brought on other artists to perform with him, something his halftime show predecessors have done.”
