The Weeknd’s “Starboy” video notably got nominated for Best Music Video at the MTV European Music Awards before it even came out. So, it makes sense that the singer would repay the EMAs with a live performance. The Weeknd (who actually won for Best Video) took the stage during last night’s ceremony to perform his upcoming album’s lead single with a visual flair—he did the first third of the song within a sphere adorned with intergalactic imagery. Watch the performance below.
