The Weekndย teased a new track during his virtual TikTok concert.
The โSnowchildโ musician kicked off TikTok's first-ever augmented reality event on Friday (August 7) with โThe Weeknd Experience,โ beaming over 230,000 viewers into an alternate reality as the pop star delivered virtual performances of his songs, including a few from his number-one album,ย After Hours.
The 20-minute interactive live stream saw The Weeknd enter into a hellish, 3D realm where the singerโs avatar appears out of an inferno in the form of his menacingย After Hoursย persona, who wears oversized sunglasses, a red jacket and often appears with a noticeably bloodied face and nose bandage.
Although โPray For Meโ featuringย Kendrick Lamar, โBlinding Lights,โ and โSave Your Tearsโ were among the tracks played during The Weekndโs virtual event, the night was also filled with surprise performances.
Doja Cat pounced onto the scene wearing in aesthetic-appropriate catsuit to perform their remixed version of โIn Your Eyes.โ Whatโs more, The Weeknd surprised viewers at home with an exclusive snippet of an unreleased song, presumably called โKnow That.โ
โI don't really care if your tears fall down your face/ You know you play the victim every time/ I know you gettin' turnt every night,โ he sings. โYour girls ain't sโt, tryna get me off your mind/ The same ones who be hittin' up my line/ They're not your friends.โ
The Weeknd's virtual TikTok experience launched just hours after he releasedย his collaboration, "Smile,"ย with the lateย Juice WRLD.
