Amber Glenn's Olympic Journey: From Madonna's Message to Music Rights Hiccup
American figure skater Amber Glenn received a surprise video message from Madonna, wishing her luck before her short program at the Milan Cortina Olympics. Madonna praised Glenn's performance to her song "Like a Prayer" and encouraged her to go for the gold medal. Despite the support from Madonna and other celebrities like Taylor Swift, Glenn faced a setback in her program, leaving her in 13th place going into the free skate. The issue of music rights also emerged during the Games, with some skaters having to make last-minute changes to their programs. Glenn had a music rights hiccup with her free skate song but resolved it with the artist, Seb McKinnon, who was honored that she chose his music for her routine. Glenn expressed gratitude to Madonna for her support and hoped to do justice to the song in her performance.
