"Turns out that Madonna had seen a clip of Glenn performing to her song. I have to tell you, I was blown away by it, Madonna tells Glenn in the video. 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."
"Several had to frantically try to get approval for their program music at the last minute, and some were even forced to change their programs entirely. Glenn was among those who had a problem. Her free skate is set to The Return by Seb McKinnon, who produces music under the name CLANN. He posted on social media that he was surprised to hear the song during Glenn's performance in the team competition, which helped the U.S. win the gold medal."
Madonna sent Amber Glenn a video before Glenn's short program at the Milan Cortina Olympics, praising her performance and urging her to 'go get that gold.' Glenn reacted with shock and emotion upon receiving the message. Madonna had seen a clip of Glenn skating to 'Like a Prayer.' Pop star Taylor Swift also supported Glenn and teammates Alysa Liu and Isabeau Levito, dubbed the Blade Angels, via an NBC spot. Music rights caused problems for several skaters, forcing last-minute approvals or program changes. Glenn's free skate used 'The Return' by Seb McKinnon (CLANN), who expressed surprise at hearing it during the U.S. team competition that helped win gold.
