Dressed in pink and blue corsetry and a set of thigh-high boots, Madonna performed a selection of records from her upcoming album Confessions II.<\/p>\n
Her setlist consisted of the new songs I Feel So Free, Bring Your Love, Love Sensation, Get Together, I Love New York and Hung Up.<\/p>\n
For one number, she stood solemnly onstage amid a phalanx of backup dancers for a slideshow of old photos recounting the story of the gay rights movement.<\/p>\n
She was also accompanied onstage by English DJ Stuart Price, whose history with her dates back to her original Confessions on a Dance Floor album in 2005.<\/p>\n
Price is also serving as a producer on Confessions II, which is slated for release on July 3, the same day Taylor Swift is reportedly marrying Travis Kelce.<\/p>\n

Madonna reprised her classic hits Vogue and Like a Prayer and also performed her new song Bring Your Love, a cut off Confessions II.<\/p>\n
However a wrench was thrown into her triumph when Madonna announced that the priceless vintage costume pieces she had worn onstage had vanished.<\/p>\n
Local law enforcement then clarified that the items \u2018may have fallen off a golf cart,\u2019 and that there was \u2018no evidence\u2019 they \u2018were intentionally stolen.\u2019<\/p>\n
Carpenter mounted a pull-the-stops-out extravaganza that offered a tip of the hat to showbiz history, drawing from a range of influences that encompassed 1930s musicals, film noir, Bob Fosse\u2019s Cabaret and Samuel L Jackson\u2019s Snakes on a Plane.<\/p>\n
Her celebrity cameos included Jackson, Will Ferrell and Sam Elliott, as well as Susan Sarandon delivering a monologue as an older version of Carpenter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
