I think, as a lot of other people who have posted have said, that Madonna has just changed. She's always changing. I think that's what makes her so fascinating.
After she married Sean, a lot of people began to come out and call her obnoxious and many other celebrities said in interviews that she did come off as mean. That would go on for years. But, she slowly evolved into ROL Madonna, who was very wise, spiritual and self-aware, and part of that was because of Lola's birth. Then, after Guy, she became English Madonna, and part of that was, I think, to make him happy. Once the marriage ended, it obviously became clear to her that she didn't have to try to please him anymore because things were over and she was probably also angry, so she rebelled against that image, which in turn, gave us MDNA Madonna and current Madonna.
I think she's still rebelling against that image of the perfect wife, of the prim, proper woman. A lot of people want women of her age to settle down, be married and be quiet. She doesn't want to do any of that and she wants to be loud about it. She wants to keep up with the trends, make new music and just have a good time like a young person would. I think she's compensating for all those years of being married to Guy, where she was obviously very different. Divorces are hard, break ups are hard. We all have events that shape us and change us.
Obviously, I could be wrong about everything I just wrote because I don't actually know her, but that's what I think. She always changes.

Here are some that I have found interesting over the years:
Take A Bow was written about an actor Madonna knew (fans often speculate which one).
Love Tried to Welcome Me was apparently inspired by a stripper Madonna met.
Forbidden Love was supposed to be the last single, but it was scrapped and released on Something to Remember instead.
A lot of Madonna's looks from this era were noted to be quite similar to Jean Harlow.
Madonna was extremely nervous performing Take A Bow live at the AMAs. The song was never included in any of her tours until Rebel Heart in 2016.
The Human Nature music video was inspired by the art of Eric Stanton. The Chihuahua that appears in the music video was Madonna's dog, Chiquita.
Bedtime Stories was supposed to have a tour, but Madonna decided she wanted to focus her energy into her role in the Evita film.
This special from the filming of Take A Bow gives a lot of interesting info:
 
 

Oh that's really no fun and you're right the cost of merch is so high! The varying sizes can be difficult. The people working at the Montreal merch stands let us check to see if all was good quality-wise before we purchased. It was super nice of them. 
No problem at all. Happy to help! 

Si
From my long years in forums this seems as an unanimous triumph amongst fans 

I swear, this Die Another Day performance was a real highlight for me. Videos/photos don't do it justice. I loved how she was there in the middle with the two dancers on either side and then BOOM, the lights flashed and suddenly the others were all around her on the catwalks. I audibly gasped. So witchy and amazing. Damien Jalet is a genius.

Thank you again. That really helps. 
I brought 4 at the first London shows in a medium and they ALL varied in actual measurements! Ended up coming home and selling them all as they were too big, but then wanted to make sure the smalls weren't too small. Bad quality control there, especially with the cost of merch these days.
You're the best!

You’re welcome!
It’s the Who’s That Girl tour reissue shirt. A bit of stretch to it, but not too much. 
I was thinking of getting the Girlie Show shirt when I was there. I compared the fit and feel of the two and they were basically the same. 

Glad you liked it 🥰 it's realy amazing. Also definitely in my top 3 Madonna tours of all time... 

Wow, her voice was great yesterday! Bad Girl, Crazy for You, Don't Tell Me, Mother and Father... maybe the best vocals until now? 

That helps immensely, thank you. Which particular shirt was it, btw? I found the UK ones had different measurements even though 'same' size.
Thanks again. Legend!

About 19 inches when flat for a small. Hope that helps. 

Yeah it looks really nice in person with the reflective gold lettering. Photos don’t do it justice. 

I just left the merch shop. I took a few pics for y'all. I feel like some of these things might be new. I didn't take a picture of everything. I forgot to take a pic of the lithographs. I got caught up trying to figure out if there was more than one pic in the package cuz you could only see the first one which was a True Blue black and white shot. So I have no idea what the other 3 photos are. 
I picked up the Waiting shirt in the fishnets cuz I dont think Ive seen that one for sale before. I also dont think that Water Color Music one has been released yet either. Or the Celebration Tour Hung Up one. 
 
There were some colorful characters (fans)  there. 😆

Thank you. So true. She really knows how to put on a show for her fans. 

Everyone who has been saying what an amazing tour this is was so right.
Last night was my first M concert ever. I still can't believe it. 
I loved when she spoke to us. So many beautiful moments. It is much more than a song and dance show. 
To those who will be going to the future concerts, I hope you have the best experience.

Can anyone who brought any of the tees in a small and/or medium at a US or CAN show please measure underarm to underarm for me? I would be most thankful. X
