Madonna appeared as a guest star during Sabrina Carpenter’s weekend two headlining set at Coachella.
The surprise collaboration came towards the end of Carpenter’s Friday night set as she performed “Juno.” “Have you ever tried this one?” Carpenter asked, teeing up Madonna’s emergence on stage. The pop icon began her mini-set with “Vogue” before debuting a song with Carpenter presumably from Madonna’s forthcoming album Confessions II. With Carpenter’s backing, Madge also performed “Get Together” from Confessions on a Dance Floor and “Like a Prayer.”
In between songs, Madonna also addressed the crowd, noting that she had last played Coachella 20 years ago to the day (apparently wearing the same corset, jacket, and boots), and she delivered a somewhat awkwardly long history lesson in astrology.
