MADONNA is firing back at comments about her appearance at the Grammy Awards.
The pop icon, 64, and longtime LGBTQ advocate introduced Kim Petras and Sam Smith’s “Unholy” performance at Sunday’s show. It was a groundbreaking night as Petras became the first out transgender woman to win the award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance along with Smith, who is nonbinary. However, social media was abuzz over Madonna’s fuller-looking face and speculating about what plastic surgery she’s had.
On Tuesday, the “Vogue” singer, a seven-time Grammy winner, responded to the gossip, saying that once again, she’s “caught in the glare of ageism and misogyny that permeates the world we live in.”
Madonna wrote in an Instagram post that while she originally wanted to give the last award of the night, Album of the Year, she thought it was “more important” to introduce Petras and Smith’s performance, a “history-making moment.” She added, “And on top of that she won a Grammy!!”
