Madonna, 67, dazzles in Dolce & Gabbana at surprise NYC Times Square concert

Madonna hasn’t lost her ability to shock.

The icon stunned New Yorkers Thursday evening when she performed a surprise concert in Times Square. 

The 67-year-old singer, who’s promoting her new album, “Confessions II,” performed for 15 minutes. The pop-up concert also celebrated the beginning of Pride Month.

Madonna wore a custom Dolce & Gabbana look comprised of a pink chiffon teddy trimmed with lace, a satin waist cincher, a blue satin balconette bra, pink tulle opera gloves layered with lace fingerless gloves and sheer tulle thigh-high stockings.

Silver lace-up knee boots and a sparkling Swarovski crystal necklace completed her stage ensemble.

Fans posted video of the show on social media, which drew a massive crowd. Though the concert was relatively short, it didn’t skimp on the theatrics — the performance included dancers, a DJ and a rotating stage.

Her set list included her hits “Hung Up” and fittingly, “I Love New York,” which are both off of her 2005 album, “Confessions on a Dance Floor.”

The concert was put together by Grindr. Madonna is working closely with the dating app on the launch of her new album. As we’ve reported, she released a video through the platform last week in which she was interviewed by pals including Bob The Drag Queen and the playwright Jeremy O Harris. During the event she dropped a bombshell — the best sex of her life was with John F. Kennedy Jr.

“Confessions II” — the sequel to “Confessions on a Dance Floor” — dropped Wednesday. Madonna told fans last month about her new album, “Confessions Il is a love letter to dance music and to all the spaces and communities that create it or enjoy it.”

“The dance floor isn’t about a specific space or building, it’s wherever we gather to dance, celebrate and connect,” she continued. “Thank you for being a part of this moment and for supporting my music.
See you on the Dance Floor!”

Madonna also wished her fans a happy Pride Month Monday, posting a video of herself smoking.

“Nothing like a Mothers Love……Happy Pride month 🏳️‍🌈,” she wrote. “See You Soon!”

Madonna has been busy promoting her new album with massive performances. In April, Sabrina Carpenter brought her out as a special guest for her weekend two Coachella performance. It marked 20 years since Madonna’s own headlining set at the California festival in 2006.

She’s also headlining the first-ever halftime show at the FIFA World Cup 2026 alongside Shakira and BTS on July 19 at New York New Jersey Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
