Madonna shares BTS snaps of her ‘happy place’ in the studio
She’s “Expressing Herself” — and she’s happy.
Madonna shared a series of snaps to Instagram on Thursday, writing she’s “in her happy place,” ahead of her world tour.
In the Instagram story, the Grammy winner wore a black corset and glasses with her hair in braids, as she played the guitar and sang.
The 64-year-old accessorized the all-black ensemble with silver jewelry, as she posed in a series of photos shared on her social media.
The Queen of Pop, whose tour kicks off on July 15 in Vancouver, announced eight additional tour dates on Monday.
One stop in the announcement is in Nashville after Madonna recently slammed newly passed Tennessee drag laws that ban drag performances.
“The oppression of the LGBTQ+ is not only unacceptable and inhumane; it’s creating an unsafe environment; it makes America a dangerous place for our most vulnerable citizens, especially trans women of color,” the mom of six said in a statement. “Also, these so-called laws to protect our children are unfounded and pathetic.”
All ticket proceeds from the Dec. 22 show will go toward transgender organizations.
“Anyone with half a brain knows not to f – – k with a drag queen,” Madge added.
Madonna has also been outspoken about those criticizing her appearance after fans called her “nearly unrecognizable.”
The LGBTQ advocate hit back at online trolls tweeting about her looks after the pop star took to the stage to introduce Sam Smith and Kim Petras’ Grammy performance of their hit song, “Unholy.”
“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!!” Madonna wrote in a lengthy Instagram post on February 7.
The “Material Girl” called out people refusing to “celebrate women past the age of 45” and punishing them if they’re “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,” she continued. “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.”
However, she’s been seemingly unbothered after sharing a kissing pic with her new boyfriend, boxer Josh Popper, 29.
