Here’s Why Rihanna Didn’t Get Paid for Her 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Performance // Violins Given New Life After Horrors of World War II

Photo: Rihanna (Facebook) | By Devon Forward, Parade / Yahoo | Rihanna is returning to music after more than five years with the Super Bowl LVII halftime show, but what might surprise many is the fact that she won’t be taking home a dime for her performance.

The 34-year-old is headlining the show for Sunday’s big football game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs, and despite there being no paycheck, there’s a good reason for it.

According to Forbes, this is actually customary for all performers. Big names who have headlined the show in the past, like Beyoncé, Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, and Nicki Minaj, were not paid for the show either. Instead, the profit comes in the form of increased sales and attention. [Sounds like the reason the promoters give local musicians!]
