Even at 60-years-old, Madonna knows how to handle public controversy just like she has every step of the way throughout her decades-long career. On Thursday (January 3), the Queen of Pop took to Instagram to hit back at rumors that she recently received butt implants after folks caught wind of her surprise appearance at Stonewall Inn and she handled the fuss in the most Madonna way possible.
"Desperately seeking no ones approval…and entitled to free agency over my body like everyone else! Thank you 2019! It's going to Be an amazing year," the industry veteran captioned a selfie from the intimate club appearance on New Year's Day. She also included several hashtags like #freedom, #respect, #nofear, and #nodiscrimination. In can you missed out, Madge welcomed the New Year by dropping by New York City's Stonewall Inn for an impromptu performance at the historic LGBTQ staple. Click here to see the footage!
Shortly after the midnight hour, Madge performed acoustic versions of "Like a Prayer" and Elvis Presley's 1961 hit "Can't Help Falling in Love" alongside her 13-year-old son David Banda. "If we truly look and we truly take the time to get to know one another, we would find that we all bleed the same color and we all need to love and be loved," she reportedly told the crowd via EW. "As we stand here together tonight, let's remember who we are fighting for and what we are fighting for — we are fighting for ourselves, we are fighting for each other, but truly and most importantly, what are we fighting for?"
Later on, Madge encouraged the audience to "reflect on how we can bring more love and peace into 2019," insisting that committing disarming people with acts of kindness can be a good tactic. "Let's be counterintuitive. Share what you know with someone you don't agree with. Think about that. Try it. Get outside your comfort zone. Let's try to be more forgiving," she said. "Maybe we can find an opening to let the light come in."
While the size of her behind is questionable on all fronts, especially from behind, it's clear that the Internet didn't take in one word she said. Let's try this again, folks!
