The timing was auspicious, Madonna noted from the stage. \u201cI have a few things I wanna get off my chest,” she began. \u201cTwenty years ago today, I performed at Coachella. I was in the dance tent, and it was the first time I performed Confessions on the Dance Floor<\/em> Part One<\/em> in America.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAnd that was such a thrill for me, so you can imagine what a thrill it is for me to be back 20 years later in the same boots, the same corset, the jacket I had on earlier, the same Gucci jacket. So, it\u2019s like a full circle moment, very meaningful for me.\u201d<\/p>\n Madonna and Drake, performing at Coachella in 2015<\/p>\n <\/span>Christopher Polk\/Getty Images<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n Madonna’s 2006 show might have been her first time at Coachella, but it wasn’t her only Indio show. In 2015, she joined Drake<\/a> as he closed out the festival’s first weekend, singing Bedtime Stories<\/em> 1994 slow jam “Human Nature” before locking lips with the Degrassi<\/em> star<\/a> turned musician turned beef participant<\/a>.<\/p>\n Their clinch launched a million social media reactions<\/a>, with Madonna responding \u201cIf you don\u2019t like me and still watch everything I do. Bitch, you\u2019re a fan.\u201d For his part, Drake\u2014nearly the same age then as Carpenter is now\u2014responded \u201cI got to make out with the queen Madonna and I feel 100 about that forever.\u201d<\/p>\n Carpenter was similarly worshipful of the star, especially when the subject of height came up. Carpenter is reportedly slightly less than 5 feet tall, while Madonna has reportedly expressed dissatisfaction<\/a> at standing 5′ 4.5″<\/p>\n \u201cThe other thrilling thing I need to point out to everybody right now is this probably the first time I\u2019ve ever performed with someone who\u2019s shorter than me,\u201d Madonna quipped Friday. \u201cSo, thank you for giving me that experience.\u201d In response, Carpenter shouted \u201camen!\u201d<\/p>\n Carpenter remained reverent when Madonna thanked her for sharing the stage. \u201cNo thanks needed, Madonna,” she replied. “You can have whatever you want.”<\/p>\n And what Madonna wants is for us all to be nicer, she said Friday. The new moon is in Taurus, the pop star said (Vanity Fair<\/em> has not independently verified her astrological assessment), which means society needs \u201cto work on our communication skills,\u201d and \u201cavoid confrontations,” the Material Girl said.<\/p>\n \u201cIn all circumstances for the rest of the month, let\u2019s try to get along,” she continued. \u201cAnd to that point, the great thing about music is that it brings people together, am I right? It\u2019s the one place that people have to put their differences aside, put their shit down, and just everybody have a good time together.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
