Beyonce reportedly had a huge payday for her halftime performance as part of Netflix’s NFL Christmas Day doubleheader, taking home $20 million for her 13-minute music extravaganza.
Alongside special guests Shaboozey, Post Malone and her 12-year-old daughter Blue Ivy, Beyonce took the field at NRG Stadium in her hometown of Houston midway through the Ravens’ blowout of the Texans.
That Beyonce earns more than $1 million per minute for her time on Netflix are just reports and have not been confirmed by the streaming network or the “Cowboy Carter” singer.
The $20 million figure comes from social mediawith several people claiming the staggering figure is part of a bigger deal involving Beyonce and Netflix.
The 43-year-old star reportedly signed a three-project deal with the streaming giants in 2019, with two-thirds now completed.
The first part was a documentary that showed her performance at Coachella in 2019, which earned her $20 million.

Now the second part has earned her two-thirds of the contract revenues. What the final part of her $60 million deal will be is unclear, although some wouldn’t mind getting an encore for Netflix’s next NFL spectacular.
Beyoncé’s halftime show at the Texas-Ravens games was also her first performance since husband Jay-Z was accused of rape, with a lawsuit accusing music mogul and disgraced rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs of raping a 13-year-old girl at an MTV Video Music Awards afterparty in New York in 2000.
Jay-Z strongly denied the allegations, and an attorney for Diddy, who is currently awaiting trial and behind bars on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution, also denied the allegations.
It was her first performance since she last took the stage in October 2023 to conclude her highly successful Renaissance World Tour at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.
Beyoncé’s Christmas show was her third major performance during halftime of an NFL game.
She was the solo headliner of the Super Bowl halftime show in 2013 and was a special guest at Coldplay’s Super Bowl show three years later alongside Bruno Mars.
