Ignore the trolls 😁

Shame on the fake news peddlers!

Cool to see M and Tay remain friendly

M should've allowed Sab to speak more. Credits to the latter for her wit and charm.

It's a blessing to us fans and the pop culturati worldwide that Madonna continues to make art that inspire people, spark conversation, and yes, disturb peace. Her victory at the VMAs is a well-deserved cherry-topping. Her collabs with Sabrina, Kylie, and Charli are all fab. And the C2 era has not even hit the halfway mark yet. Looking forward to M releasing either a remix album or a Confessions 'threequel' (waving at the 8 unreleased tracks) as well as, announcing a new world tour.

Gross oversight! It's a career highlight for M when it comes to live performance.

'Vogue' remains the standard by which all VMA performances---past and future---are measured.

Madame X is the "M" in MTV Madame X is the "M" in the VMAs

Where the hell is M's spectacular 1989 "Express Yourself" performance? On the other hand, the 👑 of Queens has an entry for the '80s, '90s & '00s

She's the oldest artist to open the VMAs, right? If M can replicate or top her Coachella performance then I'll consider it a win for her. Preferably, I want her to do the table dance in OSA.

This song and other album tracks deserve higher streams

Not surprised that the superior C2 has surpassed the likes of MX, AL and MDNA!

Madge x Charli: Everybody get up and 💃🕺👯!

Yes! Surprised that she hasn't performed at the VMAs in decades

Madonna was a punk rocker and new wave artist in the late '70s and early '80s as most posters mentioned. During her Camille Barbone years, M was packaged in the vein of Benatar and D Harry. Good thing that M had a better sense of her sound, image and artistry that she changed music managers/agents asap. Even the late Kurt Cobain acknowledged M's NY punk roots and somehow lamented that she ditched the genre for pop music.
