Madonna made a shock return to the stage Friday night after being brought out by Sabrina Carpenter during her second weekendheadlining Coachella.
The 67-year-old pop icon joined Carpenter toward the end of the performance, marking 20 years since her own headlining set at the California festival in 2006.
Carpenter’s show had already been stacked with cameo moments before Madonna’s arrival. A shirtless Terry Crews appeared mid-set, referencing his role in “White Chicks” and briefly singing Vanessa Carlton’s “A Thousand Miles.”
Actress Geena Davis delivered a monologue — echoing a similar appearance by her “Thelma & Louise” co-starSusan Sarandon during Carpenter’s first weekend performance.
Madonna’s entrance was signaled by the instrumental of her 1990 hit “Vogue,” before she rose from beneath the stage in a purple corset, matching bottoms, elbow-length gloves and knee-high boots.
The pair performed sections of “Vogue” and “Like a Prayer,” joined by backing vocalists as they moved onto a stage extension in the middle of the crowd.
“Wow, thank you … Sabrina, thank you so much for inviting me on your show,” Madonna said.
“No thanks needed, Madonna,” Carpenter replied, as the two held hands on stage.
“Well, I have a few things I want to get off my chest,” Madonna continued.
“So, 20 years ago today I performed at Coachella. I was in the dance tent, and it was the first time I performed ‘Confessions on a Dance Floor’ part one in America.
