Speaking of the news, The Weeknd said: “We all grow up watching the world’s biggest acts playing the Super Bowl and one can only dream of being in that position. I’m humbled, honored, and ecstatic to be the center of that infamous stage this year,”
The Weeknd made headlines recently with joining Maluma on the Latino’s track Hawaii for a remix, putting the track high on the charts and proving he’s unique voice is just as good with a reggaeton beat as it is with r&b and pop.
The pair also almost immediately released the video for the remixed track the day the song was released.
The Weeknd’s 2020 was as good as it could have been too. Having dropped After Hours right at the beginning of quarantine, the superstar enjoyed high chart positions for his album and is set to top this year off with what will probably be the most unique Super Bowl Half-time performance we will ever see.
