Madonna revealed during a BBC One Graham Norton interview that she may headline Glastonbury in 2027, hinted at by a knowing exchange with Norton. She confessed jealousy of Kylie Minogue, sparked by ex-husband Guy Ritchie's crush. Her daughter Lourdes Leon appears on the album after overcoming 'nepo baby' concerns. The album's opening track was improvised in one take with producer Stuart Price. Madonna recounted her misfit origins at New York's Danceteria club, where she crafted iconic fishnet gloves from tights.
