What a gas,&#8221; Madonna said after the conclusion of the new song.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;No thanks needed, Madonna,&#8221; Carpenter responded.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;You&#8217;ve been incredibly accommodating,&#8221; the &#8220;Material Girl&#8221; singer said.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;You can have whatever you want,&#8221; Carpenter assured.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Madonna then began a lengthy speech. \u201cSo, 20 years ago today, I performed at Coachella,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I was in the dance tent, and it was the first time I performed <em>Confessions on a Dance Floor<\/em> part one in America.&#8221; Madonna said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The singer explained that it was &#8220;such a thrill&#8221; to perform that album at the time. &#8220;So you can imagine what a thrill to be back 22 years later in the same boots, in the same corset, the jacket I had on earlier, the same Gucci jacket,&#8221; she said. &#8220;So it\u2019s a full circle moment, you know? Very meaningful for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Madonna also told the crowd that current phenomena in the zodiac mean that humankind needs to focus on two particular goals. &#8220;We need to work on our communication skills, &#8217;cause we all think we&#8217;re talking to each other on the phone, but we&#8217;re not really communicating,&#8221; she said. &#8220;The other thing we need to do is to avoid confrontation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Madonna reflected on the healing power of music.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Let&#8217;s try to get along. Let&#8217;s try to be together. Let&#8217;s try to avoid disagreements, and to that point, the great thing about music is that it brings people together,&#8221; she said. &#8220;It&#8217;s the one place that people have to put their differences aside. Put their s&#8212; down and everybody have a good time together, right? So I am thrilled to be a part of that healing experience bringing people together. And I just wanna say four lines from my <em>Confessions 1 <\/em>record.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">She then performed an a capella rendition of the chorus of &#8220;Get Together,&#8221; singing,&#8221;Can we get together? I really, I really wanna be with you. Come on, check it out with me. I hope you, I hope you feel the same way too.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Sabrina Carpenter and Madonna at CoachellaCredit: Coachella\/Youtube\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/UOA_DYDosLa.jmpmHALgOA--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTY0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/entertainment_weekly_785\/e777b9bc8d7cf7f4e630a24df1c519e7\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-0 size-full\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-3 right-3 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal dialogue\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed bottom-0 left-0 right-0 top-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p><i>Sabrina Carpenter and Madonna at Coachella<br \/>Credit: Coachella\/Youtube<\/i><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">That track was one of six that Madonna performed during her Coachella debut in April 2006.

And she&#8217;s gonna make me disappear,&#8221; she said of Carpenter before descending off stage on a platform.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Carpenter seemed starstruck by her guest. &#8220;Holy s&#8212;,&#8221; she said. &#8220;What do you do after that? Oh my God. F&#8212;, I need a drink.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">She then began performing her 2024 hit &#8220;Espresso.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong><em>Get your daily dose of entertainment news, celebrity updates, and what to watch with our <\/em><\/strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/ew-dispatch-newsletter-11812417\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:EW Dispatch newsletter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;EW Dispatch newsletter&quot;}\" class=\"link \"><strong><em>EW Dispatch newsletter<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Earlier in the set, Madonna&#8217;s <em>A League of Their Own<\/em> costar Geena Davis performed a lengthy live monologue while in character as an older version of Carpenter reflecting on her glory days.
