The national anthem is part of the NFL games. Bringing a personality like Pixie Lott will add to the event’s fanfare. The game will be the first of the season to be played in London. Tim Tubito, the NFL’s senior director of global game presentation and entertainment, talked about the game, adding, “London continues to be a second home for the NFL, and each year we look to elevate the entertainment we bring to fans.” This explains why they chose Pixie Lott, an English singer, to grace the event.

How NFL halftime pay works: What Pixie Lott might be earning?

How much do the artists get paid for performing during these NFL events?

The answer might surprise you. Although there are no specific reports on how much the NFL industry will pay Pixie, it is generally believed that artists don’t receive payment for their performances. It was confirmed by Forbes long back, “We do not pay the artists. We cover expenses and production costs.”

The NFL industry does not provide hefty cheques for Super Bowl halftime shows or for singing the anthem, but instead, they receive a minimum rate. This might be around $1,000 daily for rehearsals and the show. The real deal, however, comes from viewership. Each artist’s performance is rated and talked about, creating a massive following and increasing streaming rates. Rapper

Kendrick Lamar’s show at the New Orleans is one such example. Before his show, Lamar was already one of the most famous rappers. But immediately after finishing the Super Bowl performance, his music streams increased by 153%.

Though Pixie’s net worth is not publicly known, she has built a successful career, generating income from a range of sources beyond music, including various projects and endorsements.

NFL Show partnerships and sponsorships

The NFL industry usually partners with brands like Pepsi and Apple Music. This not only provides the financial backing but also helps with new opportunities. Things like brand integration and cross-promotion are common during these shows. The NFL also collaborates with entertainment companies like Jay-Z’s Roc Nation, which helps curate talent for the halftime shows.

Some artists also promote their own brand. Singer Rihanna was seen wearing her makeup brand, Fenty Beauty, during her halftime performance. After the event, the brand saw increased website visits and searches.

The career impact: What does this mean for Pixie Lott?

So when Pixie Lott sings the anthem, things might never be the same for her. With wide American fans listening to her vocals, she might earn a new fan following. Fans would love to stream her albums, resulting in career growth. NFL performances might re-energize an artist’s brand, creating avenues for bigger things like tours and record album contracts. While Pixie might not get paid like an NFL player, she sure will leave an impact.
