Madonna’s appearance at this week’s Grammys had the whole internet talking.
But now, Madonna has hit out at the critics.
“There’s difference between aging with dignity versus Madonna aging backwards and crazy,” wrote one fan.
“She is afraid to admit that she is growing old,” added another.

Madonna is known as the Queen of Pop for a reason…
From her back-to-back hits like Hung Up to Material Girl, the legendary singer has garnered a worldwide fan following since the 80s.
After Madonna revealed why she refused to sell her music catalog…
She said: “Because they’re my songs. Ownership is everything isn’t it?”
But it’s something else Madonna revealed that caught the eyes of fans…
According to an interview in Variety, Madonna is “developing the screenplay for a feature-length biopic about her colorful life and career.”
She also opened up about why she wanted to direct her own biopic.
“No one’s going to tell my story, but me,” she told the media outlet.
The fashion icon then went on to express her desire to see her vision come to life.
“I’ve had an extraordinary life, I must make an extraordinary film.
“It was also a preemptive strike because a lot of people were trying to make movies about me. Mostly misogynistic men”, added the singer.
And she didn’t shy away from saying it “is her story.”
“So I put my foot in the door and said, ‘No one’s going to tell my story, but me,'” Madonna said.
The star singer also revealed where in the process of scripting she is, to which she replied: “a very long script that is really hard for me to make shorter”.
“I’ve been whittling away at it, but it’s like hacking off my limbs,” she concluded.
According to The Independent, Julia Garner has been roped in to play Madonna because she “was a favorite” of a dozen candidates for the iconic singer.
And there’s more…
As apparently, the biopic has “already been set up with Universal Pictures” but no release date has been confirmed yet.
But then the iconic singer left fans in shock after her personal life hit the headlines…
Madonna was spotted at REMA’s concert at Irving Plaza in New York…
Along with BMX superstar Nigel Sylvester.
Reportedly, they all went for dinner at Manhatten restaurant Mister French, where they were also joined by jeweler Greg Yuna.
And a source claimed Madonna was seen “dancing and taking selfies” at her table all night long, while indulging in truffle fries, crispy rice, and several different kinds of pasta, including truffle gnocchi, and drank rosé too.
But the singer wasn’t alone with just her friends…
A source close to Madonna told Page Six that the singer was “definitely smooching. She was being very openly affectionate all night, snuggling and cuddling in the booth,” with her not-so-mystery man.
As per reports, the pair were caught kissing and were left alone at some points throughout the night too.
The inside source revealed the pop star was seen cuddling her apparent model beau…
And is rumored to be her new boyfriend. His name is Andrew Darnell and is just twenty-three years old.
Recently, it seemed as though Madonna may have come out as gay.
In a TikTok video, Madonna could be seen doing the trend of throwing something into a bin (usually a pen) to make a decision.
The singer instead took a pair of panties and attempted to throw them in the bin, but missed.
She captioned the post: “If I miss, I’m Gay!”
Fans quickly took to the comment section, with one writing: “Did I just witness Madonna coming out, good for her.”
While another said: “Did Madonna just come out? And I’m witnessing it in real time??”
Now, this might not come as a huge shock to some fans, who have watched the star kiss many female celebrities over the years.
Most notably Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.
However, as far as relationships go, we have only ever seen Madonna with men, so this is quite a big deal!
You can watch the video here.
The star has continued to shock fans with her social media activity.
One fan even commented: “She looks scarier every day!”
In one recent clip, the star was seen lip-syncing the words to a song called ‘Vent’ by rap artist Baby Keem.
“Have you ever been punched in your motherf*ckin’ face? / What you say? Oh, you haven’t? / Alright, wait, b*tch,” are the specific words that the sixty-four-year-old mimed into the camera.
The video was paired with the caption: “Alright, wait, b*tch. ……………”
Naturally, fans were left baffled by the whole thing!
Others were concerned, with person saying: “What’s going on here??? Are you okay?”
You can take a look at the clip yourself here.
But the bizarre videos haven’t stopped there…
Her outlandish behavior has got people raising their eyebrows after she was seen standing provocatively over a bottle of hot sauce, straddling a motorbike, and licking water out of a dog bowl.
Viewers couldn’t help but comment on the weirdness of the video…
One user commented: “None of this is thought provoking or ‘different’. You lost touch. You used to be ahead of the game. You created it. The changes to your body too.”
“This is all screaming desperation to stay young or relevant. The last thing any of us would have expected from Madonna.”
“It’s getting more and more embarrassing. It’s not easy to be your fan anymore. You were an icon. But sadly are now without style,” a second added.
While a third chimed in: “Really? After 40 years of being an artist, your form of visual art went down to licking a dog bowl.”
“If you’re creatively dried out, let it be. Don’t ruin it for your lifetime fans who are used to getting the best out of you. You have no idea how much it hurts to see you so desperate, destroying your legacy,” another commented.

And now, Madonna’s grabbed the attention of fans for a different reason.
Her appearance at the Grammys this week has the internet feeling confused.
The “Vogue” singer briefly appeared at the 65th annual award show to introduce Sam Smith and Kim Petras.
And it’s safe to say, fans think she’s become unrecognisable.
“This legit looks like a Madonna impersonator with pics of the real Madonna in the background. She really f–ked up her face,” wrote one.
“Madonna looks good for her age… if her age is 2,700 year old vampire who eats babies and small animals alive,” someone else joked.
“Has Madonna been nominated for ‘Best New Face’ at this year’s Grammy Awards?” offered another.
“What magic formula was used to create #Madonna’s new face? I’m so confused!” another chimed in.
Take a look right here …
However, it was Piers Morgan’s Instagram joke about the star that had people in a spin.
“Don’t be cruel Piers. Madonna rocks,” commented one.
Another added: “Cruel and unnecessary to comment in such a way. Please do better.”
“Why are you shaming her? Shame on you !” added another.
Piers shared a snap of Madonna to his Insta, captioning the post: “I thought Halloween was in October?”
But now, Madonna has hit back at the critics.
She took to Instagram to hit back at those who had mocked her looks.
“Instead of focusing on what I said in my speech which was about giving thanks for the fearlessness of artists like Sam and Kim- Many people chose to only talk about Close-up photos of me Taken with a long lens camera By a press photographer that Would distort anyone’s face!!” she said on Instagram.
“Once again I am caught in the glare of ageism and misogyny that permeates the world we live in.”
“A world that refuses to celebrate women pass the age of 45 and feels the need to punish her if she continues to be strong willed, hard-working and adventurous.”
“I have never apologized for any of the creative choices I have made nor the way that I look or dress and I’m not going to start.”
“I have been degraded by the media since the beginning of my career but I understand that this is all a test and I am happy to do the trailblazing so that all the women behind me can have an easier time in the years to come.”
“In the words of Beyonce ‘You-won’t break my soul’.”
“I look forward to many more years of subversive behavior -pushing boundaries-Standing up to the patriarchy -and Most of all enjoying my life.”
What do you think of Madonna’s response?
