Imagine this: 70,000 people crammed into São Paulo’s Estádio Morumbi, sweating, screaming, and possibly regretting wearing those tight jeans. All for one man—the myth, the legend, The Weeknd. If you thought your weekend was exciting because you went to brunch and saw a cute dog, think again. The Weeknd just set the bar to “Oh, you thought that was entertainment? Hold my microphone.”

Fresh off a coffee (probably) and announcing his brand-new album, cleverly titled ‘Hurry Up Tomorrow’—because who among us isn’t rushing through life—The Weeknd threw a curveball that had fans gasping like they forgot how oxygen works. Guess who popped out on stage like it was no big deal? ANITTA. Yes, Brazilian queen Anitta, as if she just casually strolled in from the corner store. Oh, and Playboi Carti, because why not add some extra chaos to the mix? Together, they gave the crowd a preview of tracks from the new album, which we assume are about love, heartbreak, and wondering why Uber prices have gone up.

For those keeping score at home, this new album isn’t just a standalone project. No, no, it’s the epic final chapter in a trilogy that started with ‘After Hours’ in 2020 (remember when we thought 2020 was as wild as it would get? LOL) and ‘Dawn FM’ in 2022 (because apparently even your music needs a well-structured plot these days).

But wait—there’s more! The Weeknd didn’t just stop at the new stuff. Oh no, he brought out the bangers. The crowd lost their collective minds to ‘Blinding Lights,’ which is scientifically proven to make you feel like you’re in an 80s music video, and ‘Starboy,’ the song that makes us all briefly believe we, too, are capable of being effortlessly cool. (Spoiler alert: We are not.)

And just when you thought the show couldn’t possibly get more extra, 150 drones appeared in the sky. Yep, a literal drone army. These weren’t your basic drones either; these were drones with a purpose. They spelled out the album’s name, ‘Hurry Up Tomorrow,’ in the sky like some sort of futuristic, next-level fireworks display. Picture the future, but make it corporate branding.

So, if you missed the show, don’t panic. You can watch the full thing below and pretend you were there, sweating and screaming alongside 70,000 of your closest strangers. Highlights await, and who knows—you might even shed a tear of FOMO.
