BEYONCE has earned a pretty hefty payday after she took to the stage to perform the NFL Christmas halftime performance.
The Single Ladies singer is said to have been paid $20 million for her halftime show, which totalled 13 minutes.
The high fee works out as $1.5 million for every minute she performed during the Baltimore Ravens game versus the Houston Texans.
The singer performed solo as well as alongside special guests Shaboozey, Post Malone and her 12-year-old daughter Blue Ivy as they all took to the stage in Beyonce’s hometown of Houston.
Despite commanding a high fee and raking in viewers, Beyonce’s halftime show hasn’t been a hit with everyone.
In fact the performance has received mixed reviews, with some hailing it as a triumph and worthy of a Super Bowl halftime show and others saying the singer appears ‘lost’ since her days in Destiny‘s Child.
The star also came under criticism for making a gun figure gesture as she began the show, which is heavily banned in the NFL.
Players caught making a gun gesture or symbol of any kind are subject to a 15-yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct.
The NFL show was also her first performance since she last hit the stage in October of 2023 to wrap her highly successful Renaissance World Tour at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.
Beyonce is said to have signed a three-project deal with Netflix, which began in 2019 and is now two-thirds of the way done.
The Cowboy Carter singer has been paid a total of $60 million for her projects, broken down into $20 million thirds.
Filming her documentary ahead of her Coachella performance in 2019 was her first release with Netflix, netting her $20 million.

Beyonce is also set to follow through with her upcoming stadium world tour, with performances set to kick off in March in 2025.
A source close to the Texas Hold Em’ singer told us that Beyonce is set to announce her next run of shows in a matter of weeks.
The insider revealed: “It’s been a very tough few months for Beyoncé but she’s laser focused on making her upcoming tour a success.
“The next few weeks are crucial as she will announce a new album and a new tour. The announcement was supposed to happen a couple of weeks ago but it was pushed back.”
