Veteran pop star Madonna has made a surprise appearance during singer Sabrina Carpenter\u2019s headline set at Coachella.<\/p>\n

The pair performed songs including Madonna\u2019s hits Vogue and Like A Prayer, along with a new song reportedly from the 67-year-old\u2019s upcoming album Confessions II, during Friday\u2019s set at the festival in California.<\/p>\n

Madonna appeared on stage after Carpenter had been performing her song Juno. At its viral \u201chave you ever tried this one before?\u201d moment, the 26-year-old struck a pose reminiscent of the music video for Vogue, and the music changed to the 1990 single as Madonna walked out.<\/p>\n

During the set, Madonna reportedly told the crowd: \u201cTwenty years ago today, I performed at Coachella \u2013 I was in the dance tent and it was the first time I performed Confessions On A Dance Floor: Part I in America and that was such a thrill for me.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo you can imagine what a thrill it is for me to be back 20 years later, so it\u2019s a like a full circle moment, you know \u2013 very meaningful for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Madonna, whose full name is Madonna Ciccone, released her latest single I Feel Free \u2013 from her upcoming record, a follow-up to the 2005 album \u2013 on Saturday, having sent it out early to clubs and DJs.<\/p>\n

She wore a light purple outfit and Carpenter wore a white corset during the performance in the Colorado Desert in California.<\/p>\n

Since launching her career in the 1980s Madonna has had 13 UK number one singles and 12 number one albums. Her latest record, Confessions II, will be released on July 3.<\/p>\n

Madonna has won many accolades including seven Grammys and two Brit awards.<\/p>\n

Carpenter rose to worldwide fame in 2024 with the release of her sixth album Short \u2018N\u2019 Sweet, which contained hit singles such as Espresso, Please Please Please and Taste. She followed the album with last year\u2019s Man\u2019s Best Friend, which contained hit singles such as Manchild and House Tour.<\/p>\n

The singer has had four UK number one singles and two number one albums.<\/p>\n
