THEY have individually performed for millions at previous Super Bowls, now Madonna and Katy Perry are teaming up for a huge pop collaboration.
Katy was in the crowd at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles with fiancé Orlando Bloom to see the LA Rams beat the Cincinnati Bengals in this year’s American football showpiece on Sunday.

And she had plenty of A-list company — with Mary J. Blige, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Dr Dre, Kendrick Lamar and 50 Cent delivering a jaw-dropping half-time show.
But I can reveal the next big name she will be rubbing shoulders with is Madge, who has enlisted Katy to feature on an upcoming al- bum of re- mixes of her best-known tunes.
The record will mark her milestone of having 50 No1s on Billboard’s Dance Club Songs chart in the US.
And it will come ahead of the 40th anniversary of her debut single Everybody in October.
A source said: “Madonna has been going flat out over the past few weeks.
“Not only is she working on her biopic but she’s also been in the studio at all hours.
“She’s been a massive fan of Katy for years and always talked about doing a song with her.
“With the remix project things have fallen into place. As plans are still being sorted out, no release date is set yet. Hopefully fans won’t have to wait too long.”
Despite being good friends for years, Madonna and Katy have never released a song together.
But they have done a joint photoshoot and appeared on stage together, with Katy even making a cameo in the video for Madge’s 2015 song Bitch I’m Madonna.
Madonna’s 2012 Super Bowl half-time show became the most watched in history after 114million tuned in.
Then Katy went on to trump her by pulling in 120million viewers in 2015.
Sunday’s half-time entertainment has been branded one of the best ever.
R&B star Mary looked incredible at 51 in a silver leotard and thigh-high boots.
Eminem made a political statement by taking the knee against racism, while Dr Dre paid a subtle tribute to his late rapper friend Tupac by playing the first few bars of his song I Ain’t Mad At Cha on the piano.
It leaves one big problem for the organisers — how to top that next year . .

KANYE: I WISH KIM WAS HERE
KANYE WEST is still convinced he will reunite with estranged wife Kim Kardashian – despite days of him badmouthing her and her new boyfriend Pete Davidson on social media.
Kim filed for divorce from the rapper a year ago, but he wrote on Instagram yesterday: “I don’t have beef with Kim, I love my family.

“I have faith that we’ll be back together.
“Sometimes people call me crazy but to be in love is to be crazy about something.
“And I am crazy about my family. Happy Valentine’s.”
Kanye was at the Super Bowl with his oldest kids, North and Saint, covering his face for much of his time in the crowd.
He also appeared in a commercial for McDonald’s in the ad break.
And shortly before the game, he made it clear he wanted Kim, who is in New York with Pete – who he refers to as Skete – there with him.
He posted: “The Super Bowl brings families together.
“For everyone married, hold your spouse close, make sure they know how much you love and appreciate them because there’s a Skete lurking in every dirty ass alley waiting to help destroy your family and walk around in Calvin Kleins around your children.
“I wish my wife was with me and our children sitting at the 50-yard line.”
This clearly spells the end of his six-week romance with actress Julia Fox though.
She said on Instagram that she has flown back to New York to see, “The only men that matter, which is my son and my dad”.

She added: “I have been a fan and love the concept of Eurovision and am thrilled to bring the musical phenomenon to America.
“I’m so excited to work with Snoop and can’t wait to see every state and territory represented by artists singing their own songs.”
The eight-week contest will launch next month, with a final on May 9, and see 56 acts competing, one from each state, plus the capital Washington DC and five US territories.
THE game drew one of the most star-studded crowds ever thanks to it being held in LA, just a few miles from the Beverly Hills enclaves where the celebrities live.
Justin and Hailey Bieber hung out with pal Kendall Jenner in a private box, while Prince Harry made a surprise appearance to watch with his cousin Princess Eugenie.
