\n\t\u201cGrindr drives connections, shapes culture, and builds community \u2013 and no one embodies that spirit quite like Madonna,\u201d says George Arison, CEO of Grindr. \u201cShe has been empowering our community to Express Yourself for decades, so this feels less like a partnership and more like a homecoming.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter debuting the first taste of her upcoming album, \u201cI Feel So Free,\u201d on SiriusXM\u2019s Pride Radio<\/a> last Friday (April 17), Madonna is continuing to superserve her devoted queer fanbase (which has been integral to her success and a part of her identity from the start of her iconic career) with this collab.
