Madonna delivered a flawless performance at the Super Bowl Halftime Show on Sunday in Indianapolis.
The pop icon made her grand entrance to Lucas Oil Stadium by being carried in by a contingent of gladiators, who placed Madonna at center stage.
Opening with her 1990 smash, “Vogue,” Madonna glided across the stage, connecting with various dancers along the way while the field lit up with images of the superstar.
Next came “Music,” with Madonna dancing across a set of bleachers on stage; late in the song, one dancer did some magical moves on a tight wire.
Madonna then joined LMFAO for a quick medley, before being hooking up with Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. for her new single, “Give Me All Your Luvin’” , released on Friday. The video’s cheerleader motif was recreated by the three singers, who each took turns on the mic; M.I.A. raised a middle finger to the camera during her section, as the TV production team tried to switch camera angles as quickly as possible.
Another quick medley followed, as Cee Lo Green joined Madonna for glimpses of “Open Your Heart” and “Express Yourself,” and then stayed for the finale of “Like A Prayer” ; the two – in black gowns - were joined by a full choir as Madonna wrapped up her 12 minutes on one of the world’s biggest stages.
