"Squad Goals" Madonna and Elton John Call a Truce
Madonna and Elton John reconcile their differences
Stop the press! The long-standing beef between pop icons Madonna and Elton John appears to have been squashed. A heartfelt reconciliation unfolded backstage at the iconic Saturday Night Live (SNL), and the internet can't get enough of it.
In an unexpected turn of events, the 66-year-old Madonna shared an emotional post on Instagram, expressing her joy over a long-awaited truce with the British music legend. The pop diva revealed that she confronted Elton face-to-face and, to her surprise, he apologized with a simple "Forgive Me."
For years, Elton had publicly slammed Madonna's music and performances, but it seems the duo's recent encounter has marked a new chapter in their relationship. The musicians were seen embracing each other in a touching photo Madonna shared on her social media account.
The animosity between the two stars dates back to 2002 when Elton John publicly criticized Madonna's James Bond theme 'Die Another Day.' The feud continued in 2004, with Elton mocking Madonna's lip-syncing abilities at the Q Awards, and escalated further in 2012 during the Golden Globes when Madonna won the award for 'Masterpiece.' Despite her victory, Elton continued his criticism of her music and tour.
But Madonna seems to have forgiven and forgotten, as she expressed in her Instagram post, "I didn't understand it. Over the years, it hurt to know that someone I admired so much publicly expressed his dislike for me as an artist." She went on to say that their recent meeting felt like "everything was falling into place."
Sources reported that the two megastars are now considering collaborating on a new project, signaling a new era of unity and mutual respect in their storied careers.
Madonna, the "Queen of Pop," and Elton John, the British music legend, have proven that it's never too late for forgiveness and collaboration. Here's hoping this isn't the last we've seen of these powerhouse musicians creating magic together!
