Madonna revealed her anxiety about performing Sunday at the Super Bowl XLVI halftime show, in spite of her superstar status.
“Oh my god, I’m so nervous … you have no idea,” the pop icon told Anderson Cooper on his daytime CNN talk show “Anderson,” set to air Thursday.
“First of all, it’s the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl is kind of like the holy of holies in America,” Madonna continued. “I’m going to come in halfway between the church experience and I’m going to have to deliver a sermon that’s going to have to be very impactful.”
“I have to put the greatest show on earth in the middle of the greatest show on earth … that’s a lot of pressure,” she added.
Though Madonna would not reveal any details about her star turn when the Patriots face the Giants in the NFL’s title game, TMZ reported Tuesday that it had a hunch.
Photographs reportedly taken over the weekend at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis showed the word “Vogue” lit up on the floor during stage-lighting tests, according to the gossip site.
When asked by Cooper what her performance would entail, Madonna simply deadpanned, “Singing!”
