Yesterday at 00:001 day It's a medley performance of "Bring Your Love" and "Danceteria Afterhours" with Sabrina Carpenter and Charli xcx, respectively.
18 hours ago18 hr Besides these three awards in the telecast, Confessions II: The Film won in the Best Long Form Video category, Confessions II won in the Best Album category and Confessions II: The Film won Best Cinematography and Best Choreography as well. The last two were the professional/technical categories, so the recipients are the director of photography and the choreographers, respectively.
18 hours ago18 hr Billboard ranked it as the #1 performance of the night:No living legend is more associated with the MTV VMAs than Madonna, so for the Queen of Pop to open the 2026 VMAs was fitting – but it also meant that expectations were high, especially after the broadcast delay. But Madonna being Madonna, she was more than up to the challenge. It started understated, with Madonna sitting on top of a Yamaha piano with Sabrina Carpenter at the keys for their “Bring Your Love” duet, built momentum with a gospel choir segue and climaxed with the sleazy public restroom fantasia of the “Danceteria Afterhours” remix. Charli xcx spat her come-up story; Sombr strutted his stuff; Fab 5 Freddy basked in his lyric shout-out; leather daddy Seth Rogen smoked a cig; Danceteria OG Debi Mazar swung through; and Julie Garner rocked a Truth or Dare-era look.Yep. This is how you start the party.
17 hours ago17 hr Pitchfork also ranked the performance as the best of the night.With five performances under her belt prior to tonight—including at the inaugural ceremony in 1984—”Madonna” is practically a synonym for “VMAs.” Let’s take it back to the turn of the millennium. The question on everyone’s lips: Who’s next in line to assume her throne? Will it be Britney or Christina? So, of course, Madonna gets them both to kiss the (proverbial) ring. Now, 23 years later, the Queen of Pop has decisively chosen her next ladies-in-waiting. As the evening’s opening act, she pulled out all the stops for an elaborate medley inspired by her Confessions II short film, with plenty of special guests in tow. Madonna brought out Sabrina Carpenter for “Bring Your Love” (Hattie: “she is not playing that piano lol”) and Charli XCX for their new “Danceteria Afterhours” remix. Then things got trippy. Zoom in; enhance: Is that…Sombr? Julia Garner dressed as Blonde Ambition-era Madonna? Seth Rogen in Mapplethorpe drag? Fake Keith Haring? Real Debi Mazar? Seems like until further notice, it’s still Madonna’s house, Madonna’s rules. —Walden Green
