Ahead of this weekend's all-important Super Bowl performance, the video for Madonna's new single, 'Give Me All Your Luvin'' has been released online. Proving that she is still the Queen of Pop, after all these years, Madonna makes a salient point in the opening scenes of the video, with Nicki Minaj and Mia dressed up as her cheerleaders. The video is packed full of self-reference - she is held aloft by a team of American footballers who lay their jackets over puddles of glitter for her, with the team of cheerleaders never far behind. It's an obvious reference to the hotly-anticipated Super Bowl performance.
Proving the point that pop will eat itself, Madonna then appears on screen in outfit that make an unmistakable reference to her outfits circa 'Like A Virgin,' which was released in 1984. And in case you hadn't got the message in the opening scenes, she has Nicki and M.I.A. dressed up in identical outfits, mere pretenders to the star of the show - Madonna herself. There's even an old-school gangster element to the video, recalling her DICk Tracy days.
Whilst she gears up for the Super Bowl performance on the weekend, Madonna has made sure that her entourage keep up their energy for the big day, by buying pizza for them all. A source told TMZ that Madonna ordered no fewer than fifty pizzas for her team from a Papa John's close to her hotel. The pizza-makers gave her a tidy discount, so the treat cost her $467 and she gave the delivery guy a "very decent tip."
