Madonna, 64, bares her cleavage as she teases fans with what to expect from her 84-date world tour
Madonna is tantalizing her fans with what to expect from her upcoming 84-date world tour.
On Thursday morning, the 64-year-old Queen of Pop posted a video asking fans if they were ready to “celebrate,” referring to the highly anticipated Madonna: The Celebration Tour – her twelfth world tour.
Never one to be shy, the Material Girl put her cleavage on full display for the video — which also showed off her backup dancers.
The tour begins on July 15, 2023 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, Canada, and concludes on January 30, 2024 at Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City, Mexico.
It comes on the heels of more chart success for the legend, and she’s just become the first woman since Cher to open a single on the Billboard Hot 100 in five different decades.

Cher and Madonna are, in fact, the only female artists to ever reach this milestone, Billboard noted Wednesday.
Madge scored her latest Hot 100 single with Popular, a collaboration with Playboy Carti and The Weeknd for its bubbly new show The Idol.
Featuring a cast led by The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp, The Idol follows a pop star who becomes entangled with a cult-leading nightclub owner.
Popular includes scathing lyrics about a woman so obsessed with fame that she will “sell her soul” and “kill anyone” to achieve it.

All other acts to debut on the Billboard Hot 100 in five or more decades have been solo male artists like Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, and Michael Jackson or all-male groups like the Rolling Stones and Santana.
Popular fell amid a storm of controversy over The Idol on June 2, which has taken a beating online since it premiered at Cannes in May.
Much of the backlash has focused on the feisty portrayal of Lily-Rose’s character, who has been described on the show as a “human c**sock.”
During episode two, Jocelyn masturbates and hurts herself while mourning her dead mother and eventually falls into the carnal bondage of Tedros, The Weekend’s character.
In which British GK has called “the worst sex scene in history,” Jocelyn satisfies herself when Tedros instructs her to “wet that throat for me” and demands that she “stretch the hell out of that little pussy.”
Fresh off Popular, Madonna released a single named Sam Smith called Vulgar in which she lurks, “Boy get down on your knees cause I’m Madonna.”
During the course of the song, the Queen Of Pop also threatens to ‘split’ the ‘banana’ of anyone who dares to ‘f***’ with Sam tonight.
Madonna and Cher have had a devoted, overlapping fanbase for decades – but there seems to be little affection between the two women.

Cher went on the late Sir Terry Wogan’s show in 1991 and made no secret of her disdain for the younger pop act.
“She’s incredibly creative because she’s not incredibly talented, she’s not pretty but she’s gross,” Cher said mercilessly.
More kindly, she remarked, “I’m amazed at the amount, in my day I was pretty good at doing the same thing as her, but she’s doing so much better.”
Cher also expressed her “respect for going way beyond what anyone should.” The interesting thing about her is that she’s willing to do whatever she wants.’
The two superstars posed friendly together at the 2017 Women’s March On Washington — but Cher’s claws resurfaced the following year.
Cher appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and said of Madonna, “There’s something about her that I don’t like. She is mean. I do not like that.’
Cher was friends with Sean Penn during his marriage to Madonna and had invited the couple “to my house a few times” but was faced with the sight of Madonna being “so rude to everyone.” She acts like a spoiled brat all the time.”
The older singer argued that “when you get to the kind of acclaim she’s achieved – and you can do what you want to do – you have to be a little more magnanimous and a little less act.”
