Funniest Tweets and Memes From The Weeknd's Super Bowl LV Halftime Show Performance
The Weeknd performed during the Super Bowl LV halftime show and Twitter had opinions.
While the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers rested in their respective locker rooms, The Weeknd put forth an eclectic performance. He he sang live, had some audio difficulties early on, spun in circles in a small room and belted out some of his biggest hits. I thought he was solid, but opinions ranged all over the place on Twitter.
Here are the best tweets and reactions to the performance:
Can’t think of a more fitting person to perform on a Sunday than The Weekend!

He spun the camera around a lot and people weren't feeling it:
Not into this. If I wanted a concert on FaceTime I’d just call a friend and make them sing to me pic.twitter.com/78xf70Ku5M

Shakira said she’ll be here whenever, wherever and yet she’s not on my tv right now. Interesting.
