Madonna stages Pride Month concert at Times Square, previews new album

Madonna, 67, gave a surprise performance at Times Square in New York to mark the start of Pride Month. The show, part of a GRNDR event, featured a D&G pink chiffon jumpsuit and included a preview of her upcoming album *Confession II*, following her 2005 release *Confession on a Dance Floor*.

Social‑media users reacted sharply, with some mocking the performance – one comment read “Ha bisogno di essere istituzionalizzata!” – and urging her to retire, while others praised the visibility for the LGBTQ+ community. The concert was also linked to a collaboration with the gay dating app Grindr.
