Everyone knows how big of a deal the Super Bowl halftime show has become over the years. It is the time on Super Bowl Sunday night when even those who do not care about the sport tune in and watch some of the world’s biggest stars perform their most popular songs.

This year, it was the two Latino divas who took the center stage, Shakira and Jennifer Lopez. Their live, joint on-stage performance only lasted 15 minutes, but the amount for which they agreed will surely surprise you.

Two of the biggest stars in the world actually agreed to appear completely for free! Actually, performers who decide to perform on this event are not paid like they normally are. The NFL only pays for the staff and all the workers involved in the show. Except the organization, they do not pay anything.

The second equally important reason is the incredible reach of the concert, thanks to the Super Bowl being one of the most important sporting events in the world. Each year, more than 100 million people watch it live, not including those who surf the web in the following days just to see the show.
