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.
