Thursday, in a frenetic behind-the-scenes Instagram video, Madonna displayed her remarkably flawless complexion. The 64-year-old pop icon presented a montage of her first week of preparations for her forthcoming world tour.
The tour, entitled "Celebration," will take the superstar through 35 cities across North America and Europe from June to December. Madge launched herself into the rehearsal process, proclaiming that she was "Slaying" as she began the arduous process of preparing for her performances.
At one point, she exclaimed that this job is exhausting, but she couldn't be happier and flashed an indelible smile for the camera.
Madonna rehearsed in head-to-toe black, often concealing her svelte frame with a flowing smock that matched her flaming red hair. She demonstrated to her 18.9 million Instagram followers that she can make the target by throwing darts during a rehearsal.

Madonna heaped acclaim on Seymour, calling him "one of the most influential men in my life!" He altered and formed my universe. Late in January, Madonna declared her upcoming world tour, shortly before it was revealed that her long-awaited biopic had been indefinitely postponed.
