The queen of pop made her debut in style and total royalty, she was ready to show the world that Madonna is back and ready to take on the music world all over again.

The singer performed her new single 'Give me all your Luvin' as she dazzled in her powerful golden embellished cape for her new album 'MDNA' set to release on the 26th March! Other guest stars that joined Madonna on stage include, Nicki Minaj and M.I.A!
