Many fans felt that the singer-songwriter was unrecognizable as she took the Grammy stage Sunday night to introduce Sam Smith’s performance.
On Tuesday, however, Madonna clapped back.
Alongside a video of some of her personal highlights from the awards ceremony, the 64-year-old expressed herself.
“… Instead of focusing on what I said in my speech which was about giving thanks for the fearlessness of artists… Many people chose to only talk about close-up photos of me taken with a long lens camera,” she expressed.
She continued: “Once again I am caught in the glare of ageism and misogyny That permeates the world we live in.
“A world that refuses to celebrate women past the age of 45, And feels the need to punish her If she continues to be strong willed, hard-working and adventurous.”
The Vogue singer slammed that she has never apologized for her appearance, and has no plans to start now.
“I look forward to many more years of subversive behavior -pushing boundaries-Standing up to the patriarchy -and Most of all enjoying my life,” she concluded, declaring at the end: “Bow down b***hes!”
DON’T CRY FOR ME
The blowback was almost immediate Sunday night, and overshadowed Madonna’s impassioned speech.
Before introducing Sam, she shared a personal message to audience members and viewers watching at home.
“I’m here to give thanks to all the rebels out there, forging a new path and taking the heat for all of it,” Madonna said.
“You guys need to know all you troublemakers out there you need to know that your fearlessness does not go unnoticed.”
“You are seen, you are heard, and most of all, you are appreciated,” the music superstar continued.

However, the worry for many fans on Twitter was not the speech itself but Madonna’s appearance.
“If they didn’t announce that was Madonna I’d have no idea who this person presenting at the Grammy’s was,” one user posted.
“I love and respect her as [a] music icon, but this just broke my heart,” another noted in the lengthy thread. “She doesn’t look like her anymore.”
Others claimed that the Grammy Awards specifically did not do a close-up camera shot of her during the speech.
“Right? Dimmed lights and no close up. I’m sure she insisted,” one fan claimed.
“She doesn’t even sound the same” another user professed.
GIRL GONE WILD
The pop star is no stranger to shocking fans with her wild looks.
In December, she set pulses racing as she stripped topless on her Instagram Stories, showing off her age-defying figure in a corset and fishnet tights.
Madonna let her long hair flow down to her chest as she revealed her glamorous makeup palette, including a sparkling lipstick.
“Express yourself, don’t repress yourself,” she wrote underneath the snap, which saw her posing in her bathroom at home.
Another recent bizarre clip saw Madonna looking unrecognizable in a lace bondage face mask as she stripped off for a photoshoot.
She also drank water from a dog bowl in one controversial video, leaving her social media fans “disgusted.”
Madonna has never admitted to getting plastic surgery, although both fans and experts believe she has gone under the knife and extensively used fillers.
The seven-time Grammy winner appears to have no wrinkles or other common signs of aging in her recent social media snaps and TikTok videos.
