Madonna spanks Amy Schumer onstage

Naturally the video was shot and eventually obtained by TMZ, who report that Madonna “found her sweet spot” in Schumer’s butt while singing “Unapologetic B*tch“. Here’s some video in YouTube and Instagram form of the tag-team in action. Beyond the title, the honour also came with a sock and a banana.

However, Madonna’s “Rebel Heart” tour, which continues Thursday night at Madison Square Garden and Saturday night at Barclays Center, may also be her happiest, most straightforwardly musical tour in decades. Was she actually having a good time up there? Damn right it’s not crowded, because there’s nobody else near her throne.

Madonna was recently forced to move the first five dates of her “Rebel Heart” world tour to January 2016 after admitting the live show was not yet ready.

“I thought I was gonna bomb so hard for months”, Schumer said, according to Billboard, after receiving a standing ovation from the crowd. “Holy Water” segued into “Vogue”, as Madonna cavorted with scantily clad nuns (played by male dancers in ruffled white panties) who swung around on crucifixes that towered at three stories high.

Twerking girl… Amy Schumer opened for Madonna in NYC and things got a little naughty.

“Oh my god this is amazing”, Schumer said. And while there weren’t as many French speakers in attendance at MSG, Madonna nodded to her Gallic fans with a surprisingly full-voiced version of Edith Piaf’s “La Vie En Rose”.

Flashing her underwear might have been her least provocative moment of the night. She wore fingerless black gloves, reading her 1984 Boy Toy self, yet she humps the stage with enough verve and wit to make the girl she used to be look like the shy type.

9 in Montreal and will hit major North American cities throughout its course, including Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, and back-to-back nights at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Sept. 16 and 17. “Thank you”, she later wrote on social media. It was clear they felt the rush of owning Madison Square Garden and relished it. Madonna, on the other hand, kept her composure.

At one point, she spotted a man in the crowd with a 1985 Virgin Tour tee.

She captioned the footage: “I made it through the wilderness”.

Just before she left the stage, Schumer announced that she would play MSG solo on June 23, 2016, marking her first headlining gig at the arena that is seen as a benchmark for stand-up comedy success.
