Toward the end of the show, The Weeknd moved to the field with an army of bandaged-faced dancers. It was an apparent nod to recent appearances in which his face was wrapped in bandages, sometimes looking bruised and bloodied. “The significance of the entire head bandages is reflecting on the absurd culture of Hollywood celebrity and people manipulating themselves for superficial reasons to please and be validated,” he recently explained to Variety.The Weeknd reportedly spent $7 million of his own money on the halftime show.
