On Sunday morning (Feb. 7), Mayor John Tory proclaimed that Feb. 7 will forever be known as “The Weeknd Day” in Toronto.
In a statement he posted to Twitter, Tory praises the “The Hills” singer’s accomplishments around the world. He also notes that The Weeknd, born Abel Tesfaye, is the first Canadian to headline a solo halftime show and the third Canadian to hit the stage in the Super Bowl’s history.

He arrived on a set that appeared to have a Vegas-style skyline alongside a choir performing in red goggle.
After months of preparation, The Weeknd takes his place at the helm of the stage for his first-ever solo halftime show performance at Super Bowl LV.
On Sunday (Feb. 7), The Weeknd lit up the stage. Performing a number of his classic hits such as “Starboy,” “I Feel It Coming,” “House of Balloons,” “Can’t Feel My Face,” “Save Your Tears,” “Earned It,” “Blinding Lights” and more, people watching the show both from the Super Bowl stadium in-person audience as well as those watching on their TVs at home loved every single minute of the halftime show.
Congratulations Abel Tesfaye!
Watched it live! Electrifying.
