Madonna\u00a0made a surprise return to the Coachella stage, joining headliner\u00a0Sabrina Carpenter\u00a0for a trio of songs.<\/p>\n\n

During the latter part of Carpenter’s performance Friday night, April 17, at the festival, after a shortened version of the song “Juno,”\u00a0a backlit Madonna emerged\u00a0from a stage lift for a duet of “Vogue,” a single released in 1990.<\/p>\n

Thousands of smartphones rose to capture the scene. The performers then sang a new Madonna song, “Bring Your Love” (according to\u00a0Setlist.fm), from Madonna’s upcoming album “Confessions II,” due out July 3.<\/p>\n

Next, they took time to talk to the crowd about their admiration for each other \u2013 Madonna, 67, has been an influence on Carpenter, 26, who has performed “Like A Virgin,” and\u00a0“Material Girl” during concerts.<\/p>\n\n

“Twenty years ago today, I performed at Coachella,” Madonna told the crowd. “I was in the dance tent, and it was the first time I performed Confessions on a Dance Floor part one in America. And that was such a thrill for me, so you can imagine what a thrill it is to be back 20 years later.”<\/p>\n\n

Noting that she was wearing the same boots and corset she wore then, Madonna called the appearance “a full circle moment (and) very meaningful.” She and Carpenter followed that up by singing Madonna’s big 1989 hit “Like A Prayer,” during which they cavorted while holding hands.<\/p>\n

Before Madonna descended back into the floor, the two shared a hug, leaving Carpenter grinning from ear to ear.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you for inviting me to your show, what a gas,\u201d Madonna told Carpenter, who had also delivered a headlining set on Friday, April 10.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Carpenter apologized to concertgoers\u00a0after that performance, during which she heard what she thought was yodeling, but was a zaghrouta, an Arabic call of celebration.<\/p>\n

“My reaction was pure confusion, sarcasm and not ill intended. could have handled it better! now i know what a Zaghrouta is!”\u00a0Carpenter wrote on X on April 11, adding, “I welcome all cheers and yodels from here on out.”<\/p>\n

Madonna did make another Coachella appearance in the past. Back in 2015, during rapper Drake’s set, she performed her songs \u201cHuman Nature\u201d and \u201cHung Up” before\u00a0planting a kiss on Drake.<\/p>\n
