Madonna is shelling out big bucks for her Billboard Music Awards performance this Wednesday (May 1.)

Per TMZ, Madge is paying upwards of $5 million of her own money to pull off what sounds to be an epic technological feat involving both holograms and CGI effects. She's been hard at work rehearsing the performance, which will reportedly last about seven minutes.

Madonna will be performing her new single, "Medellin," which features Maluma, off her upcoming studio album Madame X. Her 14th studio album will come out June 14 and is available for pre-order on multiple platforms and formats here.
