Estere and Stella Mwale aren’t your regular 11-year-olds, but then, regular 11-year-olds don’t have a global superstar for a mom. When Madonna’s twin daughters took to the stage for the opening night of her Celebration Tour, it wasn’t just their unexpected appearance that rocked the crowd; their performance skills also left them dazed.
Estere’s voguing moves sent social media into overdrive. And although there was plenty of applause, not everybody was giving the two thumbs up — more than a few people were quick to share their disapproval. “I’m surprised people aren’t seeing how very inappropriate this is. We’ve failed as humans,” one tweeter opined. “Madonna has failed. Lifted the child from the continent of Africa to make her a showpiece!” grumbled another.

Still, Madonna’s no stranger to controversy, and she’s never been one to lose sleep over people’s opinions, so it’s no surprise that her kids won’t be retiring anytime soon. According to Billboard, at least four of the five will appear with their mom every night of the tour. And the proud mom isn’t just showcasing their performance skills; she’s also giving props for their unwavering support. Madonna shared with the audience that the love of her kids helped her get through her medical woes. “My children were there — and my children always save me every time,” she said. “I have got to be there for my children – I have to survive for them,” she continued.
