Sidebar: Isn't the Offer Nissim mix of Girl Gone Wild insane? I still love it after all these years. It’s so mysterious and dark and fun.

Saw the show last night! Wow, what an incredible night!!
Although she didn’t do too much crazy choreography, the fact that a 65 year old woman can put on a show like that night after night with not too many rest breaks is mindboggling. I thought she would be gone for a bit during the interludes but she was right back on stage in like a minute. How does she do it?
Setlist was amazing! Die Another Day was my favorite. It always is, and I’m glad it’s one of hers too. You can tell it’s always a big part of the show if it makes the setlist.
She came on late, like 10:15, but the show wasn’t over till like 1am. Just awesome. Could care less about her late arrival. Go get another drink and talk to people. It’s not that hard, lol.
I had two separate guys come up to me and say I was the best dressed there. That felt good.
Madonna looked amazing, but she’s definitely up there now. She looks like she doesn’t workout her arms anymore.
I’m not sure what I want from her next, if anything. If that was the finale of her career, I’d be totally content with it as it was a fantastic send-off.

^ enjoyed your reaction. Some friends of mine saw her at MSG. Interesting they thought the same thing as you. Wondering if it is her final curtain for tours? So happy the tour is getting raves and is collecting big at the box office.

With Nothing Really Matters Club 69 Radio Mix becoming her 335th song to hit 1 million in streams, I put a playlist together of songs that are at 950,000 or more streams. The next song to hit 1 million looks to be Addicted from MDNA as it's at 998,193 streams, so let's get more 1 million streamed songs!

the merch wasn't that impressive this time around. My friend got the purple hoodie and I got the drawstring backpack, which was apart of the VIP package. Had to buy it on ebay.

If yes, I guess to sell it ALL in Brazil and Mexico!! :) I'm seeing her in a couple of weeks. I usually get the tour book and sometimes a t-shirt.

I thought the t shirts were great. I am not sure how much I spent on stuff, this time around, not going to count. Finally got my hands on the girlie show pens. And the hubby bought me the JPG tshirt, the quality is so good. Side note. My friend caught the rosary(his second one) in Atlanta. He got the pick in Texas and the rosary as well. And during bad girl, some guy that I was speaking to earlier came and planted a kiss on my lips(the hubby was not happy). The second time he tried again, I put my head down 😂😂. The hubby was still not happy. The best part of the show, when Bob was walking towards the stage and complimented my outfit. All the pain I endured during the concert(the boots) made it worth it. Our seats were amazing again. She was so close. I’m glad we didn’t change them or upgrade to the pit. I love her so much. M for life. This time around I was more emotional cause it was my last time seeing her on the celebration tour. I just never want her to stop. She looked amazing, not sure why she puts the filters on her photos. But seeing her getting older, just got to me. I really appreciated M in that moment for what she has done for me personally and I will never take her for granted. ❤️

Madonna's Lawyers Address Lateness Lawsuit, and They Don't Hold Back EMELL ADOLPHUS
The Queen of Pop is not for all the commentary about her lateness during her critically-acclaimed "Celebration" tour. In fact, her lawyers are firing back at the plaintiffs involved in the class action lawsuit filed after she was very late to one of her New York City shows.
As reported by Billboard, Madonna's lawyers urge the judge to dismiss the case on Wednesday and pointed out some fairly reasonable arguments.
First, the argument of needing to "get up early to go to work" the next day is not a legal "injury."
"Plaintiffs speculate that ticketholders who left the venue after 1 a.m. might have had trouble getting a ride home or might have needed to wake up early the next day for work," wrote Madonna's lawyers. "That is not a cognizable injury."
Second, Madonna in no way shape or form advertised when exactly she would be coming on stage.
"Nowhere did Defendants advertise that Madonna would take the stage at 8.30 p.m., and no reasonable concertgoer – and certainly no Madonna fan – would expect the headline act at a major arena concert to take the stage at the ticketed event time," wrote Madge's lawyers.
And, they added, "Rather, a reasonable concertgoer would understand that the venue's doors will open at or before the ticketed time, one or more opening acts may perform while attendees arrive and make their way to their seats and before the headline act takes the stage, and the headline act will take the stage later in the evening."
Madonna's lawyers took note that the filing plaintiffs, Michael Fellows and Jonathan Hadden, had a great time at the show and posted as much.
Hadden allegedly "raved" about the show and posted that the concert was "incredible, as always!"
Madonna's lawyers, added, "In other words, the concert met or exceeded his expectations."
Sounds like they just need to celebrate that they got to see the Queen and leave the rest behind.

People Madonna Shouts Out Her Cousins She Hasn't Seen in Years at the Tampa Stop of the Celebration Tour By Sadie Bell
Published on April 5 people.com/madonna-shouts-out-cousins-tampa-florida-celebration-tour-8627808
The pop icon is currently in the midst of wrapping up the final U.S. dates of her acclaimed Celebration Tour Madonna is known for bringing her family along on tour, but some special guests stepped out to show their support at her concert in Tampa. When the pop icon, 65, brought her Celebration Tour to Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida, on Thursday, April 4, she gave a shout-out to her cousins in the audience. Not only was the hitmaker excited that her relatives from her mother's side of the family were in attendance, she shared that it had been over two decades since she'd seen them. According to fan-recorded footage that was shared to YouTube, the Material Girl mentioned her cousins were watching the show while taking a moment on stage to reflect on the value of family. After speaking about her children and reflecting on her late mother, she said, "One other mention is that I have two cousins that are in the audience tonight." The seven-time Grammy winner continued, "I'm not pointing them out. I'm just saying that my mother is their aunt and I haven't seen them in, I don't know, 25 years maybe." "I hope that you enjoy seeing them tonight," Madonna added. The moment felt especially moving, given how the pop superstar has opened up over the years about how much her mother's death caused by breast cancer in 1963 when she was just 5 years old has affected her. Madge gave a nod to her relatives shortly after the portion of her show, which features tributes to her mom, Madonna Louise Ciccone and her son David's birth mother, among others, saying that it gives her "great pleasure" to see their faces on stage. "This part of the show, and this part of my life, is extremely important to me," she said. "Everything that I have ever done in my life is meaningless compared to be a mother. I'm not trying to sound corny or anything because it is a full-time job." After thanking her children David, Mercy, and twins Stella and Estere for performing every night during the tour, and noting how much she loves all of her kids (including the two eldest, Lourdes and Rocco, who don't join her out on the road), she continued to speak about how much family means to her. The "Hung Up" singer said, "So, thanks for talking about family and motherhood and love. Right? Because that's what it's all about. That's why I'm here. That's why I still have this job because I love what I do. And also because you have been supporting me for 40 years, so thank you. Thank you for your love and support for four f---ing decades. I do not take it for granted." She then broke into an acoustic performance of her 1989 classic "Express Yourself." Madonna's acclaimed, long-awaited Celebration Tour launched in October 2023 at London's O2 Arena with a spectacular two-hour set where she opened up about her road back to the stage following her hospitalization last year due to a serious bacterial infection. After the European leg of the tour, which lasted throughout the fall, she kicked off her shows in North American with several dates in New York City and Washington D.C. in December. Her tour resumed in early 2024 and is set to continue across the U.S. until April 15. At the end of the month, she'll take the show to Mexico City for five dates. The Celebration Tour will officially wrap up with a special, free concert in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on May 4 at Copacabana Beach. According to a press release, the historic show sponsored by Itaú Apresenta "will be free of charge as a thank you to her fans for celebration more than four decades of her music over the course of the epic global run of the tour."

She was amazing last night! Pissed off for some reason that I couldn't make out, but amazing yes.
My only critique is that Erotica and Justify My Love back-to-back like that nearly killed the show's momentum but Hung Up woke us back up.

^ I read that she was pissed at the air conditioning being to cold. She insists on performing in warm temperatures on her tours.

Only thing I can think of is that Cher has publicly praised Madonna the past few years and have said that they are on good terms now...so maybe Madonna is being a bit a contrite and doesn't want to re-ignite a feud? I mean it was Cher that always started with madonna...I have never heard Madonna say one bad about Cher.

I'll finally be seeing the Queen of Pop next week. I wish she'd add Frozen to the set but I'm thankful to be seeing her at all.
