For this unusual image, which Madonna chose for the celebration, she was hit by a barrage of criticism. But the pop diva is no stranger to this! Attacks from the media have been throughout her career. Madonna believes that society does not like it when women her age show willpower, hard work and adventurism. She has never apologized for any of her choices and is not going to do so now. The pop queen is convinced that she is going through these tests so that other women can follow her example and express themselves as they see fit.
And finally, we remind you that the name of this extraordinary woman is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the most successful singer of all time and nations. Today, Madonna is, without a doubt, a cult figure.
