Usher Isn't Getting Paid Anything For The Halftime Show, Here's Why

Usher Isn't Getting Paid Anything For The Halftime Show, Here's Why......

Usher is set to perform the halftime show at Super Bowl 58 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Sunday night. However, he won't be getting a fat check from the National Football League for his performance. Here's why...

quote:
The National Football League doesn't pay exorbitant fees for Super Bowl halftime show performers. The league does pay the base union rate, but it's a very modest fee.

“The NFL covers all costs associated with the show and does pay the performers union scale. There is not an appearance fee, but the artists are indeed paid union scale," an NFL spokesman said in 2022.

The "union scale" is about $1,000 per day, which is basically nothing for these millionaire performers. So, why partake in the halftime show if you're not getting paid?

Reba killed it.

It costs the NFL $13 million to put on the production for the show. That the NFL covers. In a regular concert, Usher would have to cover the total expenses of the show.

Well, how much is a 30 second commercial going for? How long was his show? There's his fee.

It was terrible. He shouldn't get paid for it.
I guess we only get R&B and hip-hop for halftime shows now.

You may not like the music. But to say it was terrible is idiotic.

I'm not an R&B fan but I can enjoy some of the music and throw in great dancing and I'm ok with it. I kept waiting for some awesome dance moves from Usher. Nothing.
The best half-time show in the last 15 yrs was Bruno Mars. It was a fun show, appeals to wide audience, great dancing, and great entertainer.

The international exposure is worth MEGA MILLIONS to their brand. This is a standard business strategy.

Unless you’ve committed a crime, there is no such thing as bad publicity.

Anybody, even Springsteen is fortunate to even be asked. It exposes whoever the act is to literally every demographic alive
