Madonna surprises Coachella with Sabrina Carpenter duet, announces album sequel
Madonna made a surprise guest appearance during Sabrina Carpenter's Friday night headline set at Coachella, performing duets of 'Vogue' and 'Like A Prayer' along with a new song. The performance occurred at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, marking Madonna's return to the festival 20 years after her 2006 debut in the Sahara Tent. She confirmed the release of 'Confessions II', a sequel to her 2005 album 'Confessions On A Dance Floor', on Wednesday. During the set, Madonna noted the anniversary of her first Coachella performance, calling it a 'full circle moment' and joking about performing with someone shorter than her 5ft 4in stature. The collaboration came in Carpenter's second week headlining the festival, following her previous guest appearance by comedian Will Ferrell. Coachella, which draws over 100,000 people daily according to Indio police, runs over two weekends, with Justin Bieber headlining Saturday and Karol G on Sunday. Madonna previously appeared at Coachella in 2015 during Drake's set, where she kissed the rapper in a viral moment.
