By The Numbers: The Weeknd’s $7M Super Bowl Performance Shattered All Expectations
“The Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show is undoubtedly the world’s biggest stage, producing the most viewed and talked about moment in music every single year,” Pepsi’s VP of marketing Todd Kaplan said in a statement. “The pressure to deliver an iconic, memorable and entertaining performance is felt well beyond the artist, as there are a number of people – behind the scenes – who are vital to its success. With our new documentary coming to Showtime, we are taking fans on the emotional and thrilling journey of what it takes to make the biggest show of the year – with the added complexity of doing so amidst a global pandemic.”
The show included a medley of The Weeknd’s biggest hits including “Call Out My Name (Intro),” “Starboy,” “The Hills” and “Can’t Feel My Face,” and featured a nod to Michael Jackson’s historic 1993 Super Bowl entrance. It also built upon the ongoing narrative he’s been building with the character from his “Heartless” music video from 2020.
