Pop icon Madonna surprised American figure skater Amber Glenn with a special message ahead of her individual event at the Winter Olympics in Milan Cortina
on Tuesday.

Madonna, who is referred to as the ‘Queen of Pop,' had seen Amber's short program dance routine - the first of two segments in figure skating competitions, the other being free skating - which she performed on the 67-year-old singer's hit single Like a Prayer.

"I have to tell you, I was blown away by it," Madonna was seen telling Glenn in a video message. "You are an incredible skater. So strong, so beautiful, so brave. I can't imagine that you would not win. So I just want to say good luck. Go get that gold," she added.

Amber was in utter disbelief after receiving the message from the seven-time Grammy Award winner. "I'm in shock. I'm in complete shock. I'm legitimately shaking. Oh my God," Amber said.
