Imagine skating to "Like a Prayer," one of the most iconic songs in the history of pop music, one moment and then hearing from Madonna herself the next.
The "Queen of Pop" reached out to American figure skater Amber Glenn after watching a video of her short program to "Like a Prayer." After winning gold in the figure skating team event, Glenn shared a TikTok video revealing Madonna's messages and emoji reactions to several of Glenn's Instagram posts. “I can’t wait to watch! I’m so proud of you!” was one of the messages the singer sent after Glenn told her she can't wait to skate to her song at the Olympics.
And as if that wasn't enough, Madonna recently sent Glenn a video expressing her support as Glenn prepares for the women's singles event short program on Tuesday.
"You are an incredible skater, so strong, so beautiful, so brave," the singer said. "I can't imagine that you would not win. So, I just want to say good luck. Go get that gold."
Glenn was visibly shaking as she watched the video, thanking Madonna for her support in cheering on athletes in their artistic ventures.
"I hope I can do the song justice," she said.
Glenn skated the women's free skate portion of the team event and will debut her "Like a Prayer" short program on Olympic ice Tuesday, Feb. 17. The skater's burgundy off-the-shoulder costume is reminiscent of the burgundy lace corset Madonna wore in the music video. Glenn is one of the few American women to land a clean triple Axel in international competition and will attempt to land one in her short program.
The women's figure skating short program will air on USA Network at 12:45 p.m. ET and NBC at 2:40 p.m. ET, and stream live on NBCOlympics.com and Peacock at 12:45 p.m. ET.
