There was a limit on how many times The Weeknd could rehearse on the field because there are restrictions in place to prevent the grass from getting damaged. "There's a science behind the condition of the field at game time and it revolves around players' safety," Jesse Collins, executive producer of the Super Bowl, explained. "The more you run on that field, dance on the field, you do damage to it. That's why there's no rehearsal after Thursday. At the end of the night, all of these scientists go out and they look at the damage to the field and then they send out a report. If they feel like it was too much damage, they'll say, 'OK, now you only get four runs, two, one.' And if it rains, it's really a problem." All of the field dancers were people of colour. The field performance was all about representation, and the goal of it was to show the world that "we are here now [and] this is us." Over one million people tuned in to The Weeknd's Super Bowl halftime show. It also marked the first major live performance since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
