Madonna Delivers First Concert Performance of 'Take A Bow' in Taiwan [WATCH]

For her Thursday Rebel Heart Tour stop in Taipei, Taiwan, Madonna dusted off her 1994 hit song, "Take a Bow," for its first-ever in concert performance.

The pop diva has, however, offered live versions of the Bedtime Stories number one single just three times prior--at the 1995 American Music Awards, at Italy's Sanremo Festival and live on German television, both in 1995 as well, Stereogum notes. Even though it saw wild success, the track never made its way onto a setlist until Thursday night. The melancholy ballad was captured in a fan-shot video and posted to social media which left Madonna saying, "That was fun! First time ever. Hit a few bad notes, but it felt good to sing it."

The "La Isla Bonita" singer will take the Rebel Heart tour to Asia for the month of February before wrapping the tour with a New Zealand and Australian leg in March. Madonna has spent most of the last year on tour in support of her 13 studio album, Rebel Heart, which saw official release last march.

The entertainer has brought special guests Katy Perry, Rita Ora and Amy Schumer to the Rebel Heart tour stage, complete with all sorts of antics from taking shots to spanking her guests bums. The Dead Weather member and former White Stripes singer Jack White attended Madonna's Nashville gig last month which resulted in an awkward shout out from the stage when she realized White seemingly wasn't having a good time until he blew her a kiss of approval.

The concert jaunt has delivered a number of unique performances by Madge, including a sing-a-long version of "Holiday" in Glassgow after the venue lost power, a surprise street performance of John Lennon's "Imagine" in Paris following the November 13 terrorist attacks and a recent cover and tribute to David Bowie and his hit track, "Rebel, Rebel."
