Madonna has been all over the news because of her new music thanks to leaks and rumors but she gave us some new music (officially) at The 2015 Grammys with "Living For Love."
She entered much as she did during the Super Bowl during 2012, but instead of Roman legions marching in she had a mess of men dressed in demonic outfits, a la Daniel Radcliffe in Horns (with Kanye-esque face-covering masks). Madge herself dressed in a cabaret-style outfit that eft just enough to the imagination.
The demonic imagery (also broadcast on a screen behind the stage) was in reference to a heaven and hell string of symbolic language within the lyrics.
Just before you worry that this was going to be all ballad, no pop: A brief bit of house music came to the rescue (perhaps contributions from rumored collaborators such as Diplo or Avicii?). Also, similar to her "Like A Prayer" single from decades ago, the star was joined by a soulful trio singing harmonies in the most Gospel of fashion.
Not one to be outdone in terms of special effects (or by Katy Perry's Super Bowl halftime show), she left the stage suspended.
Performances from: Gwen Stefani, Adam Levine, Katy Perry, Sia, Lady Gaga & Tony Bennett, Rihanna, Eric Church, Beck, Chris Martin,Sam Smith, Mary J. Blige,Beyoncé, Common, John Legend, Ed Sheeran, Herbie Hancock, John Mayer,Questlove, Juanes, Pharrell Williams, Usher,Hozier, Annie Lennox, and more remain.
