Madonna’s finest LIVE moments!
She just played to 1.6 million people in Rio and, to be frank, it was one of the best things I’ve ever seen her do. Here we go through her defining moments on stage.
Willkommen! Bienvenue! Welcome!
I’m going to write about the Queen of Pop in full soon. But for now, I wanted to highlight my favourite live moments from Madonna in this bonus newsletter. It felt like the right time to showcase Madonna in all her glory.
There’s nobody else like M when it comes to a live performance. Decades ahead of her time, leaving her imitators in her trail and truly remarkable. She’s also still here after 40 years (and so much left to achieve).
These are my favourite performances (in no particular order). I’d love to know what your ones are too…so please do leave a comment below if you feel inclined.
If you can, work your way through ALL of these gems for a glimpse at the genius that is Madonna. Hopefully - even if you’re not a fan - you’ll be able to see just how majestic this woman is.

Watch Madonna in Rio in FULL below…there may have been tears flowing watching this. For where she is right now in her life this tour was the best thing she could have done. All the hits and firm favourites as you want to hear them. Amazing staging, incredible visuals and fuck the haters – she slayed every track. I would have given my left arm to be there.
Until next week, Kids.
