The Weeknd reveals he spent his own money on 2021 Super Bowl Halftime Show

The Weeknd isn't cutting any corners when it comes to putting on a sensational Super Bowl Halftime Show, and to him, all the work is worth it. The I Can't Feel My Face artist is heading to the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay to perform for a limited crowd. Millions more, of course, will be watching from home, and the singer wanted to make sure that his performance was truly show-stopping this time around. In fact, The Weeknd, decided to put his own money $7 million dollars, that is. In a new interview with Billboard, the 30 year old said that while the Super Bowl ordinarily covers all production cost of the show, he wanted to make his performance extra special. He told the outlet, "We've been really focusing on making the performances a cinematic experience. We all grow up watching the Super Bowl and one can only dream of being in that position," he shared. "I'm humbled, honoured and ecstatic to be the center of that infamous stage this year."
