Madonna, renowned as the ‘Queen of Pop,’ embarked on a week-long exploration of Mexico City before her series of five concerts. Her itinerary included visits to iconic landmarks, including the former residence of Frida Kahlo. During her second performance at Mexico City’s iconic venue, Madonna was deeply moved by the enthusiastic reception from the Mexican audience. As she prepared to perform a song featuring a Mexican element, the crowd erupted in applause and cheers. Overcome with emotion, Madonna struggled to hold back tears.
Madonna expressed her gratitude to her fans for their outpouring of affection, wiping away tears as she spoke. The poignant moment was swiftly captured and shared on social media, capturing the warmth and connection between Madonna and the Mexican audience. Mexico City joins Inglewood and New York City as one of the few cities to host five Madonna concerts. Los Angeles and Barcelona follow closely with four concert dates each, while major cities like London, Paris, and many others have been graced with two performances.
Madonna’s emotional experience in Mexico City is not an isolated incident. Other renowned foreign artists, such as Sir Paul McCartney and The Rolling Stones, have also expressed their awe and appreciation for the electric energy of Mexican concert venues. ‘I was in Mexico City, singing ‘Hey Jude,” McCartney recounted in an interview with CBS. ‘The audience was singing it back to me. The energy in those Mexican venues is out of this world.’
