Madonna stole the show at last night’s MTV Video Music Awards. And she did it all within the first 60 seconds of the broadcast.
The singer introduced the 40th VMAs by stepping out on stage in a tan trench coat, which she quickly took off to reveal the skin-tight black leather bodysuit she was wearing underneath.
“And they said we wouldn’t last,” she said. “But we’re still here, motherf*ckers. Happy 40th, MTV! Welcome to the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards.”
Then she turned around to sauntered back into the wings, showing off a perky posterior that had everyone on Twitter talking…
How about we take this to the next level?

Madonna and these ass shots are a micro aggression. What the fuck?
— mugatu (@tinnkky) September 13, 2021
If you’re dragging Madonna online tonight, you can’t really call yourself a feminist. If the reason you’re dragging her is because she committed the crime of still being alive, and behaving in a way that you personally don’t approve of, you are most certainly ageist. ? https://t.co/s30IVcn1NO

The fact that Madonna is still able to shock people and cause controversy just showcases how important her role is in popular culture pic.twitter.com/14I4jLWtLd

The last time Madonna’s ass cause this much controversy was back in 2019, when she popped into the Stonewall Inn in New York City to perform “Like a Prayer.” Some fans thought her butt looked different, resulting in a Twitter debate over whether she had gotten implants.
Eventually, Madonna herself weighed in on Instagram, saying: “Desperately Seeking No Ones Approval………………😂,” she captioned a photo of herself. “And Entitled to Free Agency Over My Body Like Everyone Else!! Thank you 2019 🎉🎉🎉! Its Going to Be an amazing Year!! 🔥🔥🔥! #2019#freedom #respect #nofear#nodiscrimination.”

the profanity wasn’t necessary IMHO, but evidently it is very Madonna. also, good for her 63-year-old rear end.
Troyfight
Look! Madonna is becoming Amanda Lepore.
muscl954
That’s exactly what I was thinking!
Kinkslola
OMG. That is so true. They must share the same plastic surgeon
Den
I thought she was becoming Mae West or Sophie Tucker. But without an awareness of the comedy potential.
Doug
She reminds me of Mae West in “Myra Breckinridge…”
I really don’t care how old she is, I’ve just always thought she had more hype than talent.
barryaksarben
YES
GrizzleyMichael
Sorry but this old hag bores me to tears
Imjustsaying
The broad has lost her damn mind.
Mr. Stadnick
She is dragging out her one note yet again. YAWN
Gabby
She look s incredible. I am so happy she is still here and still so successful!
Jim
this poor old media whore. Just sad.
Jack
Madonna and MTV HAVE lasted 40 years. If you are under about 27, shut your pie hole. The reason you can rave over your current strong revolutionary women in music…..is because Madonna paved the road they walk on.
barryaksarben
WELL< YOU ARE WRONG. I have to point out Janis Joplin, Chrisey Hynde, Grace SLick, Cindi Lauper, The Wilson sisters from Heart,Annie Lennox and oh so many more. Madonna is one of many. Her antics (no insult) got her a ton of press but her music is not as good as alot of these other women and I do not mean any disrespect but I find all these divas and the infighting is BORING. I do wonder if after all these years she hasnt come up with some other way to garner attention. A fake ass is a fake ass on her or KIM K or anyone else and I dont like fake body parts
Kangol2
@barryaksarben, all the White women singers you name are great but other than Annie Lennox (who was part of a group) and Cyndi Lauper, none of them had popular hits like Madonna. Her ability to produce catchy pop songs is undeniable and she helped to define several eras. Even today people can sing any number of her songs, which are pretty memorable.
nbrowntr
Madonna does what Madonna does best – shock value. Pop stars are ripping pages out of her book, Lil Nas is a perfect example, not particularly talented but knows how to grab attention. People especially the gays seem to live vicariously through her, it’s interesting to watch.
nunya
Agreed, but you forgot Lady Gaga. Is she still a thing?
jonasalden
I got the headline of this article at the end of the clip! Is that…? Did she…? A BBL? I’d have thought Madonna was above that at this point. I mean it’s fine she can do what she wants, but she doesn’t need to cater to the trends of now. She’s Madonna. She can sit back and…just be.
GentlemanCaller
Sadly, the VMA appearance confirmed that the Material Girl is now much more material than girl. She used to be relevant and vibrant and world-changing and interesting; now she’s just a desperate, pathetic once-was.
nunya
A lady knows when to leave.
MynameisSid
I’m thinking about how she could be turning heads in some of the couture being strutted around the met tonight. The… OMG she’s in a leather bustier is really tired. I can’t really remember a classy sophisticated phase.
powersthatbe
Love her or loathe her, you cannot ignore her.
Tranceboi1
It makes me sick all the evil haters on here. You all suck! Madonna is an Icon and has stuck up for your gay asses all these years. You all need to grow a pair. She is not going anywhere. Get over yourselves. I am sure you are just jealous because you don’t have any talent.
BoomerMyles
Madonna has bashed a lot of gay people too including Sir Elton John, Sir Ian McKellan and even her own brother whom she outed.
She has not a scintilla of grace or charm. There’s a reason why Lady Gaga is a “Lady”.
Terrycloth
I can’t remember the last time I bought any Madonna music. Put out a several CD box set of ALL your 12″ extended dance remixes of your hits over the years…that might sell ALOT …
Bonuscheque
I absolutely love this woman! Since day one, she has been heavily criticized, but keeps her show moving forward. Love or hate her, she still inspires millions of people.
rover4x
Whats up with ya’ll haters. People age thats a natural process, you can’t always want her be in her 20’s, 30’s, 40’s…….I think she looks as awesome as always, just whatever however she wants to EXPRESS HERSELF. Ya’ll haters can see and look in the mirror who is the real old hags, LOL joke on you brothers.
Openminded
Agree. Strange how people today want to claim we should all love our bodies just as we are. No matter if we are too fat, too skinny, too short, too tall, too white, too black, on and on. Yet get a little age on you and you become an old has been hag. I just chuckle when I see people’s hateful remarks about “old people” because, if they are lucky, they too will be old someday.
justgeo
BUT it could easily be all latex tights and fishnets,
.
Openminded
Could be, but it still looks pretty impressive. If it’s all plastic surgery and someone wants to cancel her for it, well, there’s a whole crap load of people in the same boat and many of them are way younger than Madonna.
Walker
OK, good for her, but the excitement is a little OTT. Cher was doing this stuff decades ago.
Honestly I’d have been more impressed if she had come out in a kaftan and said “I’ve earned the right to feel comfortable” than I am that she’s doing the same stuff and wearing the same clothes she did 20 and 30 years ago.
Openminded
Rumor has it, she’s broke and can’t afford new clothes.
BoomerMyles
She’s completely vomit inducing.
She reminds me of Edith Massey as Aunt Ida from Female Trouble.
winemaker
Who cares much less gives a rats ripe ass about madonna. This has been who hasn’t been relevant in years like the kardashians needs to be relevant but isn’t .
rickywintour
Obviously you care you old hating troll. If you ain’t got nothing better to do than talk trash about somebody more important than you go play in traffic. Your mother should’ve swallowed you a**hole.
