Dazzling the audience with her stunning fashion choices, the "Material Girl" hitmaker graced the concert stage in various eye-catching ensembles, such as a striking red satin minidress paired with sleek black thigh-high boots.

In a recent post on Instagram, Madonna shared a brief video snippet capturing the energy of her last tour stop. With humor and gratitude, she said, "Blame it on Rio. Thank You Brazil!"
The success of her Celebration Tour comes after experiencing intense pain following knee surgery. Madonna shared that she had sought regenerative therapy to aid in her recovery.
In April 2020, she made the decision to proceed with knee surgery. Another significant procedure followed this in November 2020, where she underwent hip surgery and just last year, the singer-dancer experienced some serious health scare that put her in a hospital.
