That never actually happened. They thought about doing that and the musicians said no. So the NFL never actually went through with that move.
The big name musicians for the halftime show DON"T get paid only the back up dancers, and the bands get paid.
The halftime slot's ability to drive audience for musical acts is so coveted, in fact, that in the leadup to Super Bowl XLVIII, rumors that the NFL was going to charge acts to play began to circulate. The league figured it was negotiating from a position of strength.
Artists saw it differently, and the pay-to-play scheme appears to have been dropped.
