It was revealed today that Beyonc\u00C3\u00A9 will not be paid for the lavish show and may even have to cover the cost of the production going over budget out of her own pocket. The performance has become one of the most eagerly-anticipated Super Bowl halftime shows in years, after a leaked setlist sparked rumours that the gig will feature a Destiny&amp;#039;s Child reunion. Beyonc\u00C3\u00A9 has also been at the centre of controversy recently after it was alleged that she lip-synched the national anthem at President Barack Obama&amp;#039;s inauguration ceremony.

With big crowds and echoes, you know when it&amp;#039;s a big historical moment, you don&amp;#039;t want any room for any mistakes, so I can understand why it was done.&amp;quot; Watch Beyonc\u00C3\u00A9 perform &amp;#039;The Star Spangled Banner&amp;#039; at the inauguration ceremony below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
