Things I loved about the 2010s

[Voguerista 11,835]

I loved this decade. It had my favorite tours in it and videos like Ghosttown and Medellin. She looked absolutely beautiful. She pushed herself theatrically, cinematically, artistically, and emotionally. Great thread. Here's to Madonna and the next decade!

• 1980s – 4 albums 
• 1990s – 3 albums 
• 2000s – 4 albums
• 2010s – 3 albums 
• 2020s – Please follow the pattern queen

The 2012 Golden Globes awards...

"We've got a lot of competition. Madonna hasn't got a fucking chance." - Elton John

But Madonna wins anyway.

 

At the same awards ceremony giving the ultimate clapback to Ricky Gervais who introduced Madonna with the words "She's just like a virgin":

"If I'm still a virgin, Ricky, why don't you come over here and do something about it. I haven't kissed a girl in a few years... on TV."

The 2012 Super Bowl...

Does Elton have some advice for Madonna?

"Make sure you lip-sync good."

Madonna's performance was the most-watched Super Bowl halftime show in history, with 114 million viewers – more than the game itself, which had 111.3 million viewers.

The 2012 MDNA Tour...

Elton John again laid into Madonna, branding her a “nightmare” who dresses like a “fairground stripper”. He also said she had lost her credibility as an artist and claimed her MDNA tour had been a “disaster”.

The MDNA Tour created immense success at the box office and many venues were instantly sold out. It was dubbed as the highest-grossing tour of 2012 by Billboard. The tour grossed $305.2 million from 88 sold-out shows, becoming the tenth highest-grossing tour of all time and surpassing Celine Dion's Taking Chances World Tour as the second highest-grossing tour among female artists, behind Madonna's own Sticky & Sweet Tour. Madonna broke the record for occupying the top two highest-grossing female tours of all time. Madonna accepted the Top Touring Artist of the year at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards, where she grumbled about the height of her mic:

"They obviously think I’m shorter than I am, I’m not happy about that."

Then she removes her sunglasses, uses Will.I.Am as her gofer and the crowd just loves it.

If 2012 was a year in which people wondered if Madonna still mattered, then she showed everyone just how phenomenal she really is, taking her career to new heights. So 2012 is a year I really love, with Madonna showing everyone else how it's done.

The tours are definitely a highlight for me and also the albums she released have grown on me. She gave us lots of great looks, too! I am happy that I got to experience these years as her fan.

Right now I cannot think of any relevant interview for this decade, I find her to be a bit redundant lately. But maybe I missed THE interview. The billboard award speech was good though.
