#6: Halftime Shows Can Be More Expensive Than the Game

While the Super Bowl is all about football, the halftime show has become equally anticipated. The NFL doesn’t pay artists to perform but covers production costs, often exceeding $10–$15 million.

Some of the most legendary performances include Michael Jackson’s game-changing 1993 show, Prince’s unforgettable “Purple Rain” in 2007, and Beyoncé’s electric 2013 performance. The halftime show has become a career-defining moment for artists, drawing more viewers than the game itself at times.
