Sabrina Carpenter brought out Madonna as a surprise guest during her Coachella weekend two headlining set Friday night, with the two pop superstars performing “Vogue,” “Like A Prayer” and new, unreleased track together.
The Queen of Pop hit the stage while the Grammy winner was singing “Juno,” at the iconic moment where Carpenter sings her lyric, “Have you ever tried this one?” The track then cut to Madonna’s iconic “Vogue” medley, and the two sang the hit together.
Madonna and Carpenter went on to seemingly perform a new song from the former artist’s upcoming Confessions II. After, the “Material Girl” singer thanked Carpenter for inviting her to perform alongside her. And then, to add to the dazzling surprise performance, they sang a duet of “Like A Prayer.”
Madonna’s performance on its own made for a more musically star-studded set than Carpenter had last week, where the guest appearances were limited to actors with Susan Sarandon, Will Ferrell and Sam Elliott.
During her Friday night set, Carpenter also brought out actress Geena Davis to perform a monologue, just as her Thelma and Louise co-star Sarandon did one week prior. Terry Crews also joined in mid-set, he poked fun at his iconic role in White Chicks and lightly sang the tune of “A Thousand Miles.”
Madonna’s appearance comes just days after the pop icon had confirmed that Confessions II would drop this July. It comes seven years after she’d dropped Madame X back in 2019.
As for Carpenter, the rest of her set remained stunning, keeping the same old Hollywood glam feel we saw a week ago. With Carpenter’s week two set in the books, all eyes turn to Justin Bieber for Saturday night, before Karol G takes the stage as the Sunday night headliner.
Weekend two will also feature a surprise set from country superstar Kacey Musgraves at the Sahara Tent on Saturday afternoon, with Musgraves filling the slot fellow surprise act Jack White took last week.
More to come.
