This is a surprising fact about the event.

Puerto Rican sensation artist Bad Bunny will entertain thousands of fans at Levi’s Stadium and hundreds of millions around the world with his Super Bowl 60 Halftime Show. As controversial as his selection has been, the artist is set to take fans into a party.

Considering all the money the NFL generates every year, and the type of artists they invite to one of the biggest gigs on the music calendar, one would imagine they break the bank for the 12-to-15-minute performances.

That isn’t the case, though, as artists don’t get much more than a couple of thousand dollars from the league. Usher, the 2024 performer, received about $671 for his performance and around $1,800 for his rehearsals. Bad Bunny should get something similar. Just like the “Chambea” singer, other performers such as Rihanna, Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar and The Weeknd didn’t get a large paycheck.

Why The NFL Won’t Pay Bad Bunny?

As one of the most important gigs in the music industry, the Super Bowl offers its artists a huge platform. This year, for example, over 50,000 souls will watch the game at Levi’s Stadium. Hundreds of millions will tune in from around the world, giving an unmatched exposure to whoever sets foot on the stage.

NFL spokesperson Joanna Hunter explained in 2016 that the league doesn’t offer big checks to artists.

“We do not pay the artists,” she told Forbes. “We cover expenses and production costs.”

Bad Bunny’s performance most likely will make him earn more millions, and his songs will become more popular. He was Spotify’s global artist of 2025 with over 19.8 billion streams. His popularity is already high, but taking his voice to the Super Bowl Halftime Show could take him to another level.

He already broke an NFL record with his Instagram post teasing his upcoming performance. Time will tell how impactful Sunday’s performance turns out to be for the Puerto Rican.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
