"Oh, the Audacity of Madonna!"
Fans who attended Madonna's performance at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, got a taste of her notorious tardiness. The Queen of Pop kept her audience waiting for over two hours before gracing the stage with her presence.
This was far from an isolated incident. Madonna's fans in Cologne had to endure an hour and a half wait in November, and during her "Madame X" tour in 2020, her Paris audience waited for three and a half hours. Even during her "Rebel Heart" tour in 2016, she started three concerts late in the same week.
The concert, originally scheduled to start at 8:30 PM, didn't commence until around 11:00 PM. Understandably, this extended wait time left some fans fuming. One angry fan posted on social media, "I don't give a shit that you're Madonna. If you're three hours late, you're just being an absolute asshole."
However, Madonna has often attributed these delays to technical difficulties. An insider told "Page Six" that this time around, the sound check caused a one-hour delay.
Despite the long wait, Madonna's performance was deemed worthy of praise by many fans. The "Vogue" performance, in which actress Julia Garner, who is set to play Madonna in an upcoming biopic, joined her as a judge, was a crowd favorite.
Madonna's love for music spans various genres, including pop and house music. This musical passion resonates with her fans, who, despite their frustration, continue to support her performances.
Madonna's tardiness has been a topic of criticism, with some fans even filing lawsuits against her and Live Nation. However, her music and performances continue to captivate audiences, hinting at her enduring legacy in the world of pop music.
