“It came a few years earlier than we expected. "We always had the Super Bowl on our bucket list, and we’ve always had timelines for all of our goals,” Esmailian told Billboard. There was speculation the snub was due to the fact The Weeknd was going to perform at both the Super Bowl and the Grammys ceremony, but the Recording Academy disputed that. The Weeknd, whose work had been submitted in six categories, tweeted "The Grammys remain corrupt" after nominations were announced. This'll be his first major national performance since being snubbed by the Grammys and playing the Super Bowl is a bright spot for the singer, says Amir “Cash” Esmailian, who co-manages The Weeknd. The show will be entirely live, something that hasn't always been the case in recent years. In an interview with Billboard, the R&B superstar (real name Abel Tesfaye) promised fans a "cinematic experience." He's opened up his wallet to do so, contributing $7 million in addition to what organizers typically pay. The big game, featuring the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, kicks off at 6:30 p.m. Last year, when Shakira and Jennifer Lopez performed, 102 million viewers tuned in.

The TV audience, on the other hand, could be bigger than ever as many people are expected to stay home, avoiding the typical large gatherings. When The Weeknd takes the stage Sunday at Tampa's Raymond James Stadium, he'll be performing for a crowd that'll be about a third the size it would typically be due to coronavirus precautions. It'll be a Super Bowl halftime show like no other. Watch Video: The Weeknd to headline Super Bowl LV halftime show
