No, Usher Won't Get Paid for the Super Bowl Halftime Show — Here's Why

Usher, like his Super Bowl halftime show predecessors, will have spent months preparing for the world’s biggest stage — but he won’t be getting paid for any of it.

The “Yeah!” singer is the 2024 Super Bowl halftime show performer, following Rihanna in 2023. While the short concert is known to be one of the most-viewed TV broadcasts every year, the artists are never paid.

However, the exposure alone of performing on such a big stage has attracted top talent through the years, from Beyoncé to The Weeknd. Despite the lack of a paycheck, the NFL does pay for the costs associated with bringing the show to life, which in 2020 cost $13 million, per Reuters. They also cover the artists’ travel expenses.

"We do not pay the artists," an NFL spokesperson told Forbes in 2016. "We cover expenses and production costs."

Here’s everything to know about how the NFL finances the Super Bowl halftime show — and why it’s still profitable for the artists.
