关于这次的超级碗中场秀有多精彩就不再多说了。说点有趣的东西，首先是超级碗中场秀与其他商业演出不同，表演嘉宾没有报酬。但是为何众大牌明星都对此趋之若鹜呢？ Shakira and Jennifer Lopez were not paid for their controversial halftime performance at Super Bowl LIV, but the appearance could still prove lucrative for the superstar singers.尽管夏奇拉和詹妮佛·洛佩兹富有争议的超级碗中场秀不计报酬，但能够亮相超级碗对大腕儿歌手来说仍旧有利可图。 The NFL never pays the halftime show performers an appearance fee, though it covers the estimated $10 million in expenses to stage the massive performance, including union scale for crew.尽管美国职业橄榄球大联盟要花差不多1,000万美元呈现一场盛大的中场秀，其中包括工作人员合同规定的最低工资，但它从不向中场秀表演嘉宾付报酬。

Christian evangelist Franklin Graham slammed the halftime show and the NFL for 'showing young girls that sexual exploitation of women is okay'.基督教福音传道者富兰克林·格拉汉姆（Franklin Graham）就抨击了超级碗中场秀和美国职业橄榄球大联盟，称“这向年轻女孩们展示了对女性的性剥削是可以接受的”。 In a Facebook post that has more than 110,000 shares, Graham wrote that the performance is evident that the 'moral decency' on television is 'disappearing before our eyes'.格拉汉姆还在Facebook上发了一段话，称超级碗中场秀显而易见地表现出电视上的“道德礼仪”正“消失在我们的视野中”。
'I don’t expect the world to act like the church, but our country has had a sense of moral decency on prime time television in order to protect children. We see that disappearing before our eyes,' Graham wrote.“我并不期待世界能够像教堂一样运转，但是我们的国家必须要在电视黄金档注重道德礼仪，保护好我们的孩子。我们正见证道德礼仪一步步消失在我们的视野当中”，格拉汉姆写道。 'It was demonstrated tonight in the Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show—with millions of children watching,' he wrote.“数据表明，今晚的百事超级碗中场秀有数百万的孩子观看”，他还写道。
