Believe it or not, performers during the halftime show of the Super Bowl receive no payment for their performance and often contribute their own funds to support the show. The Weeknd contributed $7 million in 2021 to build the sets for his performance and ensure that the Halftime Show was everything he had hoped it would be. Instead of monetary compensation, The Weeknd received a rise in popularity on social media and streaming services.

The halftime show at the Super Bowl featured a blend of The Weeknds' most popular songs, including “Starboy,” “The Hills,” “Can't Feel My Face,” “I Feel It Coming,” “Save Your Tears,” “Earned It,” “House of Balloons/Glass Table Girls,” and “Blinding Lights.”

To promote his album After Hours, The Weeknd opted to portray a character in some of his public performances and music videos. With each successive release of the album's content, the character's appearance changed dramatically, giving rise to wild speculations that The Weeknd had undergone plastic surgery.
