Considering the near-satirical hellscape that was 2020, it wasn’t entirely outside of the realms of possibility that Abel Tesfaye, AKA The Weeknd, could reinvent his bone structure. That he could re-emerge from an aesthetician’s office with a face inspired by the facial proportions of Jocelyn Wildenstein, or Kylie Jenner, or even his ex-girlfriend, supermodel Bella Hadid.
But at The Weeknd’s Super Bowl half-time performance, his appearance reverted back to its pre-2020 normalcy. Only his backing dancers were wrapped in head bandages (a move which felt more of a creative approach to COVID face covering requirements, than an extension of Tesfaye’s ‘narrative’). Some fans have been left confused about the motivation behind his ‘performance art.’
Does The Weeknd’s Plastic Surgery Stunt Really Deserve Applause?
