The pop Queen understands that the ultimate defiance to ageism is to celebrate the most basic privilege we all have - a still-beating heart.
‘People say I’m controversial. But I think the most controversial thing I have ever done is to stick around,’ said a 58-year-old Madonna in 2016, in an iconic speech, delivered as she accepted the Woman of the Year status in 2016.
Not only does Madonna defend her right to exist as she wants to at her age, but throughout the show she threads through constant references to her joy at still being simply alive. It's especially poignant for Madonna this year. On both Saturday and Sunday night, she made reference to the life-threatening illness that postponed the original start-date of the tour in June. The artist spent several days in intensive care following a serious bacterial infection. On Saturday, she said: ‘I didn't think I would make it, and neither did my doctors. That's why I woke up with all of my children sitting around me.
How, in the context of all that, can people talk about what Madonna is choosing to wear, do or say, caveating it with the context of ‘at her age’? While she dances, sings and showcases that she has lived the most incredible life, how can you do anything but jump for joy that she’s here at 65, on stage, giving her all and loving every second?
