Happiness lol. It’s quite literal.

I'm pretty sure the song was about Kabbalah actually. She said she was introduced to it by a friend in the early 90s. The friend shared the "secret" with her, and that's where she learned that "happiness lies in your own hand."

OCT 1994 - USA TODAY: Madonna’s “Secret” is a song about self-empowering spirituality inspired by Indian Hindu philosopher Mother Meera.

No, they say something about trans themes before.

She was introduced to Kabbalah while she was pregnant with Lola.

But on "The girlie show" she had the red string on her wrist... you can see it clearly on "In this life"

No it was before that. That is when she went public about it. It was before Bedtime Stories.  I'll never find it now, but she said it in a print interview. She didn't join at the time. However, she was introduced to it around 3 years before she officially joined.

The red string it's not related to kabbalah, but to spiritualism in general. I even use it and I'm agnostic.

The b-roll footage hairstyle is pretty wild, in a good way. I think I prefer it but both work. Great era.

That's not a kabbalah bracelet

"Instead of thinking “it’s not fair. Why don’t I have what they have?” shift to the proactive response of “What can I start doing now to manifest my desire?”" (i.e. happiness lies in your own hand)

Again, no. But go on with this fake news.

Crave was number one for four weeks though. Other than that it’s pretty accurate. Also Ghosttown’s missing. Missed the top spot, still was a runner up for two weeks.

34 years ago I made a commercial with Pepsi to celebrate the release of my song Like a Prayer.

The commercial was immediately canceled when I refused to change any scenes in the video where I was kissing a black saint or burning crosses.

So began my illustrious career as an artist refusing to compromise my artistic integrity.

 

Thank you @pepsi for finally realizing the genius of our collaboration. 😄

 

Artists are here to disturb the peace.

Thank you for coming on to the forum and sharing this with us, Madonna. We love you.

To commemorate its one hundred and twenty fifth anniversary, Pepsi is resurrecting some of its most legendary advertisements. Many have been shared once again on YouTube, and some will grace the screens during this year's MTV Video Music Awards on September 12. Among the commercials set to make a comeback is Madonna's notorious 1989 "Like A Prayer" ad, which caused quite a stir at the time.
