The Weeknd previously discussed his love for Brazil and the unique energy the crowd there brings during an interview with Billboard Brazil, earlier this week. "I can speak for all artists when I say it's hard to put into words the love and energy that the Brazilian people express when you're on stage," he told the outlet. "You feel the music so deeply. São Paulo and Rio reminded me that the frequencies we radiate as musicians are important. They remind me why I wanted to make music: to connect. I'll spend the rest of my life knowing that."
