And that was such a thrill for me, so you can imagine what a thrill it is to be back 20 years later.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Noting that she was wearing the same boots and corset she wore then, Madonna called the appearance &#8220;a full circle moment (and) very meaningful.&#8221; She and Carpenter followed that up by singing Madonna&#8217;s big 1989 hit &#8220;Like A Prayer,&#8221; during which they cavorted while holding hands.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Before Madonna descended back into the floor, the two shared a hug, leaving Carpenter grinning from ear to ear.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\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 class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><span class=\"exclude-from-newsgate\"><strong>More: <\/strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.detroitnews.com\/story\/entertainment\/music\/2026\/02\/25\/these-detroit-acts-are-still-waiting-for-their-rock-hall-call\/88842189007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:These Detroit acts are still waiting for their Rock Hall call;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;These Detroit acts are still waiting for their Rock Hall call&quot;}\" class=\"link \">These Detroit acts are still waiting for their Rock Hall call<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">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<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;My reaction was pure confusion, sarcasm and not ill intended. could have handled it better! now i know what a Zaghrouta is!&#8221;\u00a0Carpenter wrote on X on April 11, adding, &#8220;I welcome all cheers and yodels from here on out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Madonna did make another Coachella appearance in the past.
