Lady Gaga didn’t receive any money for her performance at Super Bowl 51, but don’t let anyone tell you that her halftime show didn’t pay off big time.
People magazine reports that Gaga’s downloads are up more than 1000 percent, with 23,000 albums sold in the hours after her appearance.
Apparently 50.2 million people between the ages of 18 and 49 watched Gaga as she belted out some of her classic singles like Poker Face, Just Dance and Born this Way. It’s guaranteed that millions of others have probably consumed the performance online.
Gaga has showcased her live musical talent many times before, but it’s easy to see why artists enjoy performing during the Super Bowl… In this case, Gaga’s was the second most watched Halftime performance of all time, trailing only Katy Perry’s 2015 show.
And now that Gaga is about to embark on a new world tour, Forbes reports that she could pull in $1.3 million dollars per city she visits. Gaga won’t get a ring for it, but thanks to the big game, she’s a champ.
