AMAs 2020: The Weeknd's Bloody, Bandaged Appearance Lights up Social Media Again
The Weeknd continued to draw quite the reactions after his appearance at the American Music Awards [...]
Many fans on social media poked fun at the bandaged-look and tied it back to one of his breakout songs, "Can't Feel My Face." The song came off his second studio album back in 2015.

While 2020 has been a challenging year for everyone, his outfit, despite debuting this year, has nothing to do with that. However, some fans feel his bloodied-look continues to get worse throughout each appearance.

Debuting it for his Saturday Night Live appearance, he also donned the look at the VMAs. He'll likely continue it at the Grammy Awards.

Some viewers decided to put his American Music Awards get-up side-by-side with some classic characters. Among those included the Joker as he walked out of the hospital in one of the more iconic scenes of The Dark Knight.

Others decided to wonder what he'll do next. The Grammys will likely be the next public appearance for The Weeknd, leaving some to make predictions for what he'll come out with next.

While his look has nothing to do with 2020, a few American Music Awards viewers applauded his look. They joked that he took wearing a face mask to another level with the bandages around his head.

The Weeknd, tabbed to be the next performer at the Super Bowl, will certainly make some type of statement with his outfit at one of the biggest stages. The 2021 Super Bowl will be held at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay, Florida.
prevHmm. I still don’t know what happened to @theweeknd, but I just learned he’s scheduled to perform for the @SuperBowl halftime show next year.
