The NFL’s announcement that Bad Bunny would headline the Super Bowl LX halftime show was met with a mixed bag of reactions from football fans.
Some were thrilled, while others were scorned by the league’s decision to platform such a polarizing performer.
But regardless of how fans feel about the Grammy award winner, everyone can agree that Sunday’s performance will the biggest of the Latin rapper’s career.
Will Bad Bunny Get Paid for His Super Bowl Performance?
Like all previous Super Bowl performers before him, Bad Bunny won’t be paid for his halftime show — at least not the kind of money he’s used to making for performing.
Performers are paid a mandatory minimum fee guaranteed through labor contracts via the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, which equates to approximately $1,000 per day, according to CBS News.
However, the league does cover travel costs and other artists expenses, which could run up into the millions of dollars.
“We do not pay the artists,” an NFL spokesperson told Forbes back in 2016. “We cover expenses and production costs.”
Most recording artists agree to do the halftime show unpaid because of the exposure —their performance is typically seen by hundreds of millions of viewers.
When is the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show?
The halftime show is dependent on how long it takes the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots to play the first two quarters of the game, but the tentative time is expected to be between 8-8:30 p.m. ET.
The Super Bowl can be streamed on Peacock or NBC, and the start time is 6:30 p.m. ET.
