Twitter Reacts to the Weeknd's Super Bowl LV Halftime Performance

From "The Hills" to "Blinding Lights," the Weeknd stole the Super Bowl, and made new fans along the way.

Abel Tesfaye, better known as the Weeknd, stole the show as he performed during the Super Bowl LV halftime at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fl. 

He opened with "Starboy" before going into hits "The Hills" and "Can't Feel My Face." The R&B singer and songwriter performed in front of roughly 22,000 fans, including 7,500 vaccinated health care workers who were invited by the NFL free of cost.
