Madonna has always been an innovator who started many trends — or at least she made underground trends mainstream. If you are to believe some of the headlines, Madonna has fallen behind and is “copying” Taylor Swift now. The fact that Madonna brings special guest stars on stage is enough to rile up the haters. The New York Post, a source that seems to have it out for Madonna and the Rebel Heart Tour, was one of the first to accuse Madonna of plagiarism for inviting another star on stage with her. “Even though the tour is barely two months old, Madonna has already clocked up a solid honor roll of special guests that mirrors Taylor Swift and her giant ‘1989’ jaunt, which kicked off in May. Although Swift invites someone from the pop world to make a cameo virtually every night, Madonna is smartly doing what she can to keep up and ensure the ‘Rebel Heart’ tour remains a regular trending topic.”

Madonna was unable to hold back tears during her first concert of the Rebel Heart Tour following Friday’s terror attacks in Paris, France. While performing in Sweden on Saturday, the 57-year-old singer shared a moving message to the packed Tele 2 Arena in Stockholm, asking them to observe a moment of silence for the victims of the heartbreaking attacks.
"It’s been very hard for me to get through this show up to this point and not forget about what happened last night,” she said in a video that was posted to YouTube by her manager on Saturday. “I need to take this moment to acknowledge the tragedy, the tragic killings, assassinations and the senseless endings of precious life that occurred last night in Paris.”
"It's been really hard, actually, to get through the show, because in many ways, I feel torn. Like, why am I up here dancing and having fun when people are crying over the loss of their loved ones," she continued. "However, that is exactly what these people want to do. They want to shut us up. They want to silence us. And we won't let them. We will never let them, because there is power in unity, and I do believe that as much chaos and pain and senseless violence and terrorism that occurs around this world, not just in Paris, as much as that that does occur, there is more goodness in this world. We are here to prove it."

The teenager was reportedly "miserable" when he joined the hitmaker on the road for her Rebel Heart concerts. " There were horrible, full-blown fights with screaming and crying," a source told TMZ. The US site claims the 15-year-old told his film director dad, 47, that he "couldn't take the travelling and the fights". Rocco is also believed to have said the 57-year-old singer "treated him more like a trophy than a son." At one point the young star attempted to leave and failed to turn up for the flight for the Stockholm leg of the tour, according to the reports. The news comes after Rocco was said to have been ordered by a judge to return to the US to spend the holidays with Madonna.

Queen of Pop Madonna has arrived in Manila for her two-day concert at the SM Mall of Asia Arena on February 24 to 25.

It was also mentioned that the Grammy-winning pop queen did not pass through the normal customs, immigration and quarantine inspection at the NAIA. Madonna performs during her Rebel Heart Tour concert at Studio City in Macau February 21, 2016.

Her tour was underway when her managers, promoters and Madonna herself realised that the venues they were playing in would not be able to sustain the demand for her live shows. That was when she drastically switched from playing at small clubs to huge sporting arenas mid-way through the tour, as her phenomenal rise to fame shot through the roof.
Since then, the “mid-western girl with a bustier” has never ever done any “small” concert; and the current 82-show Rebel Heart Tour, the pop icon’s 10th world tour, is no exception. Since it kicked off in Montreal, Canada on September 9, 2015, audiences worldwide have been mesmerised by the extravagant stage show with its stunning sets, sizzling dance numbers, glitzy costumes and, of course, by the scintillating Queen of Pop herself.
As the S$14 million (RM42 million) show rolls into Singapore for the very first time, the 74th stop of her tour, tomorrow, we dish out the numbers on what makes a juggernaut show of this size tick.
