Twitter went crazy over The Weeknd’s Super Bowl halftime show. 

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Kansas City Chiefs met for Super Bowl 55 which plays host to the battle of the GOATS. Will Tom Brady prove he’s still got what it takes to be a Super Bowl champion with a new team or will the young gun, Patrick Mahomes, win his second Super Bowl in a row in the biggest test of his young career.

But before we answer these questions, let’s have some fun and that’s where The Weeknd’s Super Bowl halftime show came in.

The Weeknd performed a montage of some of his biggest hits. The set opened with him sitting in a classic car with the lights of a big city in the background and a massive choir accompanying him in a church-like feel. He sang bits from some of his songs including “Starboy” which he opened the set singing.

Unfortunately, the flashing lights and handheld cameras had viewers getting sick and that’s probably not the effect he wanted to have on the viewers.
