Madonna, 65, puts on another very racy display with a dancer before dressing as a nun while kicking off the US leg of her Celebration Tour in New York

Madonna put on another very raunchy show on Wednesday evening as she kicked off the American leg of her Celebration Tour in New York.

The 65-year-old singer will perform an ambitious 45-song setlist, highlighting her record-breaking 40-year career.

She wowed the crowd at Brooklyn's Barclays Center with a performance that fans said lasted until 2 a.m.

And the sizzling performance didn't disappoint as she put on a very racy show in a lingerie-style garment.

Madonna put on a very sultry show next to a dancer she represented her younger self on her 1990 Blond Ambition tour, in support of her fourth studio album Like A Prayer.

She opted for her classic motif: combining sexual and religious images, while then dressing up as a leggy nun.

In yet another costume change, she added a cowboy hat and boots, as well as a metallic skin-tight catsuit.

The Celebration Tour is one of her raciest concerts to date, where she wears a sexy red corset while surrounded by topless dancers.

Madonna told her American audience: 'Frank Sinatra said, “If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere.” I love New York!'

She has spent the past two and a half months in Europe for the tour, which highlights her 40-year recording career

She landed in New York on Saturday with three of her six children by her side

Fans raved about the performance, as one called it 'the greatest Madonna concert ever', while another said she was 'utterly fantastic'.

As she made her way to a waiting vehicle just outside the airport exit, the proud mother had 11-year-old daughter Estere by her side most of the time, while her twin sister Stella and brother David, 18, were never far away goods. .

Estere, who has been showing off her dance moves during her mother's ongoing tour, could be seen chatting with the Material Girl.

The eldest of Madonna's four adopted children, David, also walked alongside Estere.

Estere's twin sister Stella, who were both adopted from Malawi when they were five, could also be seen waiting to throw her bag in the car as soon as Madonna got into one of the back seats.

The family has settled back into their sprawling Manhattan home, which is just a few blocks east of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Central Park, according to Hello magazine.

Following the three shows in Brooklyn, New York, Madonna's traveling show will continue across the US and Canada until her performance at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas on April 15, 2024.

She will then conclude the tour with five shows at Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City, Mexico, ending on April 26, 2024.

It comes after she performed the latest European Celebration show at London's O2 Arena, with a surprise guest appearance from Stella McCartney.

For the Vogue portion of the concert, the Material Girl is joined by a celebrity guest who helps judge dancers and models as they parade down the runway.

During the London concert, fashion designer McCartney sat next to Madonna as Bob the Drag Queen added color commentary to the catwalk style.

Not only does the Celebration Tour pay tribute to her long history of hit songs, Madonna is also using the platform to tell the story of how she became a global pop icon after arriving in New York City in 1978 with just $35 in her pocket.

Other notable moments from the performance include the singer gracing the stage with her children, such as Lourdes Leon, David Banda and James.

The show also includes a moving tribute to the millions of people who have lost their lives due to complications from AIDS.

Throughout her remarkable career, Madonna has released fourteen studio albums, with the latest, Madame X, debuting in 2019.

The actress holds the record as the best-selling female artist of all time, with worldwide sales of more than 300 million records.

Madonna was forced to cancel a number of dates when she was rushed to intensive care to treat a bacterial infection in June.

During one of her October shows in Belgium, Madonna said: 'Less than four months ago I was in a hospital and unconscious, and people were thinking and predicting that I might not make it.

“So it's a damn miracle that I'm here right now. My mother, God bless her, she has to watch over me… she said, “Girl, it's not your time to go yet.”

'I had a strange thought. I suddenly had sympathy and empathy for my mother, not because of the dying part, but because of how lonely she must have felt while she was in the hospital, knowing she wouldn't live anymore, and I was given another chance,” she added to it.

“So I'm very grateful for that,” Madonna continued, then admitted, “I have to tell you, I'm not feeling very well right now, but I can't complain because I'm alive.”

“Thank God for my children and all of you for your love and support, I really appreciate it.”

Madonna has six children: Lourdes Leon, 27, Rocco Ritchie, 23, David Banda, 18, Mercy James, 17, and twins Stella and Estere, 11, who took Madonna's surname Ciccone.

Lourdes is Madonna's daughter from the seven-time Academy Award winner's relationship with personal trainer and actor Carlos Leon, and Rocco from her marriage to director Guy Ritchie.
