Super Bowl 2021 has kickstarted and our favourite celebrities are making sure that their fans enjoy the performances even when not many can come and enjoy it live. The Weeknd was one of the artists who performed at the Super Bowl 2021 halftime show and faced special challenges performing at the grand game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers Sunday. Due to coronavirus precautions, The Weekend had to perform solo without fans cheering for him. He made sure he pulls out some tricks and special effects of his own so that his fans are not disappointed.

One of the songs that The Weekend performed was his hit song Blinding Lights. He made it look as grand as ever and erected a set that resembled a carnival hall of mirrors. The singer who accompanied the singer had their face wrapped up in bandages almost like mummies and dressed like The Weeknd in black pants and red jackets. The mirror set and The Weekend lost in the scene sparked joy amongst his fans, who went on to applaud him for this super energetic performance.
But while a certain section was busy praising the singer, some people also got creative and created memes on his performance. From comparing him and the background singers to Star War characters to a bedazzled Weekend finding his way out of the maze sparked plenty of jokes. Many viewers even went to joke and say that they had trouble hearing the singer.
