It didn’t take long for viewers to take to Twitter to pan the performance, which saw the singer merely jump from song-to-song with little showmanship or surprises. In fact, he didn’t even leave the stands to perform in the field until the very end.

"I find #TheWeeknd such a creative artist but this was not it Yawning face #HalfTimeShow," one viewer wrote.

"I love @theweeknd , but that could have been better. His music choice was great, but overall, for a half time show, IT COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER," wrote another.

"no offense to The Weeknd but what was that," a third noted.

"Look I really like the Weeknd's music and he had a really good song selection, but I didn't think the halftime show was that great. It was a bit underwhelming," added another.

"That may be THE WORST halftime show in history. I’m shocked at how bad The Weeknd was," wrote another viewer.

"BEST HALFTIME SHOW EVER," a more blunt user tweeted.
