Madonna has admitted she is battling nerves ahead of her upcoming Super Bowl performance.

The Queen of Pop is due to sing during the event's half-time show this weekend and confessed she is feeling the pressure, reports People.

The 53-year-old, who is thought to be singing her new song Give Me All Your Luvin, opened up on US talk show Anderson, telling host Anderson Cooper: "Oh my god, I'm so nervous. You have no idea."

"First of all, it's the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl is kind of like the holiest of holy in America. I'm going to come in halfway between the church experience and I'm going to have to deliver a sermon that's going to have to be very impactful," added the star.

Madonna said she has 12 minutes to "put on the greatest show on earth".

"OK, that's a lot of pressure," added the star.
