Madonna's recent social media scene has become more and more bizarre... Looking at her newly posted photos, who can guess that this pop diva who has been active since her debut in the 80s is 63 years old this year?
Several of them have a proper sense of "Kardashian" + "Megan Fox".
The overwhelming majority of fan comments under her Ins photos felt the same way. "She doesn't look like the same person anymore. Your face is moving too much..." "Don't you fix the map so fiercely, you are telling everyone that aging is a mistake." ”
The fans who grew up with Madonna in the 80s were even more distressed: "This is not the Madonna I remember. Who the hell is this girl now? ”
Undoubtedly, in recent years, Madonna's "knife and needle" in the face is not generally large, and everyone generally believes that she also filled her buttocks. But she has never publicly acknowledged these changes, and said in an interview a decade ago that "I don't want to discuss any issues related to medical aesthetics."
However, this wave of changes is indeed a bit painful. Doesn't it mean that Madonna, who has entered the old age, must "age gracefully" and cannot use a knife and needle in her face, but the direction she chooses is to become an "Internet celebrity girl"?
(Last September, Madonna posted a photo with her 16-year-old adopted son, David.) In the picture, Madonna with pigtails also looks like a girl in her 20s. ）
Is this really the Madonna we remember? Madonna, who has been bold, avant-garde, trend-setting, and never willing to live in anyone's boundaries over the course of more than 40 years of music? Is this still the Madonna that has driven countless boys and girls crazy with Express Yourself and Like a Virgin, which has been on stage since the 80s and in front of a global audience?
In 1984, Madonna's second album" "Like a Virgin" came out, which immediately made her popular from New York all over the world and became a popular icon throughout the 80s. Her white lace dress, belt and gloves with Boy Toy written on this album are all looks that girls around the world are competing to emulate.
In 1990, Madonna embarked on her global tour, called Blonde Ambition. "I will never be satisfied. Unless I am as famous as God, I will be happy. I'm grumpy and ambitious. I know exactly what I want. Madonna explained the reason for the name, "If that makes me a bad woman, then feel free!" ”
On this tour, Madonna put on Jean Paul Gaultier's tailor-made suit and tapered bra and sang "Express Yourself" in a variety of provocative and bold gestures, becoming one of the most iconic moments in popular music.
"Like a Virgin" in the tour, whether it is artistic conception or live performance, even if it is put today, it can be called "shocking".
(The tapered bra has also become a source of inspiration for many female singers.) Both Katy Perry and Lady Gaga have worn through their own concerts. ）
"Let's break all the rules that can be broken!" Whether it's the repeated police presences to block the scene, or the performance being condemned by conservative religious figures, the bad girl Madonna has no intention of caring.
(Even in the later stages, Madonna's concerts were full of power.) ）
As Madonna said at an Italian press conference:
"My performance is not a traditional rock performance, but a dramatic presentation of my music.
Like drama, it asks questions, provokes thought, takes you on an emotional journey, depicting good and bad, light and darkness, joy and sorrow, redemption and liberation.
I'm not advocating a way of life, but describing a way of life that allows the audience to make their own decisions and judgments. ”
Becoming an international diva, Madonna is still dedicated, releasing and touring every few years, and has published 14 albums so far, the most recent of which is "Madame X" in 2019. She still holds more than 10 Guinness World Records, including the highest-grossing female singer on tour, the largest Internet concert, the most popular female singer, the best-selling female singer and so on.
(In 2012, Madonna, 53, became a guest performer at the Super Bowl in U.S. football.) The show was viewed by 114 million people, setting a record and even exceeding the ratings of the game itself. ）
In addition to the career all the way up, the relationship career of the queen of heaven is also legendary. She was married twice in 1985 and 2000, and both ex-husbands were also very ambitious: the film emperor Sean Penn and the British director Guy Richie. The two marriages lasted 4 and 8 years respectively.
(Madonna and Sean met in 1985 on set on Madonna's MV The Material Girl.) After 6 months, they were married. In 1986, she released true blue for Sean. However, Sean has serious anger management problems and has been rumored to be abusing the family. Four years later, the two divorced. However, the two remained friends ever since. ）
In addition, she has 6 children, two of whom are biological: the eldest daughter born to her ex-boyfriend (25), the son born to ex-husband Guy Ritchie (21), and 4 adopted children.
Since the divorce, Madonna, who does not care about the world's opinions, has become younger and younger. The latest one is her dancer, 26-year-old Ahlamalik Williams, who has been in love since 2018.
And for the "aging" thing, Madonna has long publicly expressed her opinion: "People always try to shut me up for one reason or another, I'm not beautiful enough, I don't sing well enough, I don't have talent, I'm not married, now I'm not young enough... Now I'm fighting ageism, and now I'm being punished for being 60. ”
She had no flinch at all: "If I had to play a pioneering role in opening doors for women and convince them that even at fifty or sixty they could still be as sexy and beautiful as twenty, then I should play this role." 」 ”
So she chose the approach to combating ageism – it looks more like a 20.00.
How to say it... Of course it's an option, but it may not be the one we'd expect from Madonna. After all, she used to stand for "no fear."
And now this looks like a 20-year-old Madonna, more or less will make people sigh.
