The Weeknd’s 2021 Super Bowl Halftime Show Sends Twitter Into a Meme Frenzy
#Music
Robot choirs, an army of bandaged henchmen, fireworks galore — there were a lot of memorable moments from The Weeknd’s Super Bowl LV Halftime performance. But Twitter users found one moment that they’re not letting you forget.
As he transitioned into singing his 2018 hit “Can’t Feel My Face,” The Weeknd stepped into a brightly-lit backstage area, a camera tracking his feigned panic, as he rushed to get in place for the number to start. Twitter users saw this moment and decided to turn it into a meme; with the short clip of The Weeknd rushing back stage and frantically looking around, fans have been given endless leeway in terms of captions.
From various encounters involving moms in department stores, to the strange reality of apartment shopping in a global pandemic, here are just a few of the ways Twitter fans have turned The Weeknd’s performance into their latest meme:
