The Weeknd Goes to Bat For Toronto Blue Jays in Home Team Playoff Hype Video: ‘Timeless Moments? We’ve Had a Few’
![](/<!-- do not apply CSS styles to this element! --><div class="pmc-paywall"><p><a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/the-weeknd/">The Weeknd</a> is all-in to root, root, root for his home team. The Toronto native gets behind the city’s Blue Jays in a new promo hyping the squad’s ALCS run on their way to what they hope will be their first shot at a World Series title since back-to-back wins in 1992 and 1993.</p><p>
The two-minute clip set to the Weeknd’s 2024 Pharrell Williams-produced Playboi Carti collab “Timeless,” the video opens with the echoing strains of Abel’s vocals set over a montage of images of Toronto at first light, dramatic shots of the Jays’ Rogers Centre home field and the grounds crew getting the field ready as an announcer excitedly hypes the team’s first playoff series win since 2016.</p><div><div><strong>More from Billboard</strong></div><ul><li><a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/giggs-nfl-london-halftime-show-performance-1236087670/">UK Rapper Giggs Takes Center Stage as NFL Spices Up International Games With Halftime Shows</a></li><li><a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/uk-police-arrest-two-men-194221087.html" data-3p-content-referrer="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/ian-watkins-stabbing-death-two-men-arrested-prison-attack-1236087640/" data-original-link="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/ian-watkins-stabbing-death-two-men-arrested-prison-attack-1236087640/">UK Police Arrest Two Men in Stabbing Death of Lostprophets Singer Ian Watkins</a></li><li><a href="https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/music/articles/good-morning-america-teases-huge-190339771.html" data-3p-content-referrer="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/taylor-swift-good-morning-america-showgirl-announcement-gma-1236087620/" data-original-link="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/taylor-swift-good-morning-america-showgirl-announcement-gma-1236087620/">'Good Morning America' Teases 'Huge' Taylor Swift 'The Life of a Showgirl' Announcement</a></li></ul></div><p>
“Timeless moments, we’ve had a few,” the Weeknd says in a voice-over in the clip that mixes in highlights from the team’s most iconic victories. “Pieces of history turned into everlasting memories. Now, these Blue Jays, armed with a new edge and a never-say-die attitude find themselves on the brink of a legacy all on their own. Our city, buzzing. Our nation, consumed. Canada’s team just one step closer to fulfilling the ultimate goal.”</p><p>
“Oh, the city on fire when I’m comin’ home/ Fill up the sky, fill up the Dome/ They’ll play it one day, it’s a hell of a show,” the Weeknd sings over footage of the team celebrating their championship run. “Every swing, every breath bringing us closer to a new destiny and a chance to become eternal, unforgettable. And timeless.” </p><p>
The Jays came up short during their first ALCS match-up with the Seattle Mariners on Sunday, losing 3-1 in the first of the best-of-seven series; the teams will be back at it in Toronto on Monday night (Oct. 13).</p><p>
