Madonna Duets With Sabrina Carpenter at Coachella: ‘Vogue,’ New Duet

After rumors swirled that she would seem at Coachella weekend one, Madonna made a cameo during Sabrina Carpenter‘s headlining performance on Friday evening, showing close to the end of the set to carry out “Vogue,” “Like a Prayer” and a new duet.

Carpenter was halfway via “Juno” — usually the music on her “Short ‘n Sweet” tour where she’d “arrest” a different superstar — to deliver out Madonna. The pop queen emerged via the center of the stage to sing “Vogue,” becoming a member of Carpenter to debut a new duet that’s rumored to be on the singer’s upcoming album “Confessions II.” Then, Madonna took the mic to present an prolonged tackle to the viewers.

“So 20 years ago today I performed at Coachella,” said Madonna. “I was in the dance tent and it was the first time I performed ‘Confessions on a Dance Floor Pt. 1’ in America, and that was such a thrill for me, so you can imagine what a thrill it is to be back 20 year slater in the same boots, with the same corset, the jacket I had on earlier, a Gucci jacket. So it’s like a full circle moment, you know? Very meaningful for me.”

After Madonna gave an astrology lesson, the two joined forces to duet on her basic “Like a Prayer,” with backup dancers wearing habits sauntering down from the again of the stage. “The great thing about music is that it brings people together. Am I right?” said Madonna. “It’s the one place that people have to put their differences aside. Put their shit down and everyone just have a good time togehter, right? So I am thrilled to be a part of that healing experience of bringing people together. I just want to say, four lines from my ‘Confessions 1’ record. It goes like this. Can we get together? I really, I really want to be with you. Come on check it out with me, I hope you, I hope you feel the same way too.”

As she said, Madonna’s look during Carpenter’s set comes 20 years after her Coachella debut in 2006, when she popped up at the Sahara Tent instead of the main stage to carry out cuts from “Confessions on a Dance Floor.” She later returned to the desert for a shock cameo during Drake’s closing set in 2015, singing “Human Nature” and “Hung Up” and, in certainly one of the most talked-about moments that yr, kissed Drake.

The timing of Madonna’s return to Coachella aligns with the announcement of her upcoming album “Confessions II” earlier this week. The project, slated for July 3 through Warner Records, marks her first full-length album in seven years and marks a reunion with Stuart Price, the producer of the unique “Confessions on a Dance Floor.” Earlier on Friday, Madonna premiered the music “I Feel So Free” on iHeartworkRadio’s Pride Radio, giving a first style of the project.

Leading as much as her Coachella performance last weekend, Carpenter dropped the video for “House Tour,” the latest single off of last yr’s “Man’s Best Friend.” In the clip, she has a ladies’ evening out with Margaret Qualley and Madelyn Cline, ransacking a stranger’s home and stealing a Grammy.

Carpenter beforehand carried out at Coachella in 2024, foreshadowing that she’d sooner or later take top billing during a customized outro for “Nonsense”: “Made his knees so weak he had to spread mine / He’s drinking my bathwater like it’s red wine / Coachella, see you back here when I headline.” This yr’s headlining gig comes after a busy few years for the singer, who kicked off her “Short ‘n Sweet” tour — her first arena trek — in September 2024. She stayed on the road through the end of 2025, when she closed the tour with six nights at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena just per week before she was celebrated as Variety‘s Hitmaker of the Year.
