Today’s teenagers may not even know that she is a singer, but they definitely know about the weird videos she posts on TikTok.
Madonna, she was Britney Spears, Kylie Minogue, Dua Lipa and Lady Gaga before her time and all at the same time. She has a trajectory that will go down as unique in pop history, and not just because most of her albums topped the charts. Her love life is a novel, her voice against discrimination has become a banner for the queer community she is committed to above all others.
