Madonna took the stage at the 2019 Billboard Music Awards on Wednesday night to debut her comeback single, “Medellín”, live for the first time. And she did so in epic fashion.

According to reports, the massive performance cost The Queen of Pop a whopping $5 million (!) to produce. Every penny appeared to be well spent, though, as Madonna was joined not only by collaborator Maluma, but also a host of CGI effects and even holograms.
