  "account": "The Weeknd's concert began with an ominous display, featuring black smoke and flames. The stage was set with a ruined cityscape, including representations of the Catedral de San Pablo and the Empire State Building. The singer, dressed in a bulletproof vest and black mask with red eyes, emerged onto the stage alongside a group of around 20 people in red hooded robes and gold masks. He performed Baptized in Fear in front of a 15-meter tall golden female figure, designed by Hajime Sorayama.",
