Beyonce reportedly received a big payday for her halftime performance as part of Netflix's NFL Christmas Day doubleheader, taking home $20 million for her 13-minute musical spectacle.
Joined by 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' victory over the Texans.
That Beyoncé earns more than $1 million per minute for her time on Netflix is just reports and has not been confirmed by either the streaming network or the 'Cowboy Carter' singer.
The figure of 20 million dollars comes from social networksand several people claim the staggering figure is part of a broader deal with Beyonce and Netflix.
The performance divided football fans on social media, with some claiming the performance was worth the Super Bowl, not a regular-season game.
Others, like Barstool boss Dave Portnoy, hated the halftime show, stating, “Beyoncé has been MISSING since Destinys Child,” he wrote on X, mentioning the pop group she used to be a part of with Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams.

The figure is not confirmed, but it means that Beyoncé earned more than $1 million per minute on stage.
The 43-year-old star reportedly signed a three-project deal with the streaming giants in 2019, which is now two-thirds completed.
The first part was a documentary that showed his 2019 performance at Coachella, which earned him $20 million.
Now, the second part has brought him two-thirds of the income from the contract. It's unclear what the final part of his $60 million deal will be, although some wouldn't mind an encore for Netflix's upcoming NFL spectacular.
Beyoncé's halftime show during the Texas-Ravens games was also her first performance since her husband Jay-Z was accused of rape, with a lawsuit accusing disgraced music mogul and rapper Sean 'Diddy' Combs of raping to a 13-year-old girl at an MTV Video Music Awards afterparty in New York in 2000.
Jay-Z strongly denied the allegations, and a lawyer 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 his first performance since he last took the stage in October 2023 to conclude his successful Renaissance World Tour at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.
Beyoncé's Christmas show was her third major performance at halftime of an NFL game.

Beyoncé's performance featured musical guests, including her 12-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy.
She was the solo headliner of the Super Bowl halftime show in 2013 and was a special guest alongside Bruno Mars during Coldplay's Super Bowl show three years later.
Performers are not paid to take the stage at the Super Bowl halftime, due to the massive publicity generated by around 100 million viewers worldwide.
Jay-Z has served as executive producer of the Super Bowl halftime show since 2020, and some are calling for him to lose that spot amid the lawsuit.
On Monday, a source close to the Texas Hold Em singer told The Sun that she is scheduled to announce her next series of shows within weeks, and they say it will kick off in Los Angeles in March.
The source revealed: “It's been a very difficult few months for Beyoncé, but she's very focused on making her upcoming tour a success.”
'The next few weeks are crucial as he will announce a new album and a new tour. “The announcement was supposed to be made a couple of weeks ago, but it was postponed,” the source continued.
