“Our stories are a lifetime in the making,” narrates The Weeknd’s creative director, La Mar Taylor, in the video. “We give to the world and the world gives back. What we create changes us. Every performance, a new chapter. Every stage, a new beginning.”

“We’re so close…,” The Weeknd wrote in the caption, which also thanked Taylor for his “deep voice narration.” The Weeknd’s performance on February 7 promises to be massive, and, while the producers of the halftime show cover the costs of the event, The Weeknd went the extra mile to make sure this will be a Super Bowl halftime performance we will never forget. As his manager, Wassim “Sal” Slaiby, explained to Billboard, The Weeknd wanted to “make this halftime show be what he envisioned” and forked over an additional $7 million to do that.
