Madonna made her Coachella comeback as she made a surprise cameo during Sabrina Carpenter’s headlining set on Friday.
The 67-year-old songstress – who is preparing for the release of her hotly-anticipated Confessions II comeback album – joined the Espresso hitmaker on stage towards the end of her set, causing the audience to erupt into elated cheers.
It comes 20 years after Madonna performed her own headlining set at the music festival back in 2006.
The duo belted out lyrics to some of Madonna’s hits including Vogue and Like A Prayer as the crowd excitedly sang along.
The iconic singer – also known as the Queen of Pop – wowed in a racy purple corset as well as matching bottoms as she strutted on the stage.
She additionally wore a pair of elbow-length lavender gloves and knee-high, heeled boots.

Her blonde locks were parted in the middle and cascaded down past her shoulders in light curls.
She accessorized the eye-catching look with a pair of dazzling earrings as well as fashionable shades.
Carpenter had been mid-performance when the background music quickly shifted to the instrumental of Madonna’s 1990 hit song Vogue.
The crowd began to cheer as Madonna rose up from under the stage, her back facing the audience.
Both singers were shown in black-and-white video on large screens attached to the stage as they sang the track.
The camera then turned back to color as the music artists belted out lyrics to what appeared to be a new upbeat track.
Afterwards, the pair moved towards another portion of the stage as they stood in the middle of the audience.
‘Wow, thank you,’ Madonna said as she was surrounded by cheers and applause. ‘Sabrina, thank you so much for inviting me on your show.’

‘No thanks needed, Madonna,’ Carpenter replied as they held hands.
‘Well, I have a few things I want to get off my chest,’ Madonna said. ‘So, 20 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 part one in America.’
The songstress gushed that it had been ‘such a thrill’ at the time and added it was ‘a thrill’ to be back on the Coachella stage.
‘It’s a full circle moment, you know?’ she added. ‘Very meaningful for me.’
During her short speech, Madonna also encouraged the audience to all ‘try to get along.’
‘Let’s try to be together. Let’s try to avoid disagreements. And to that point, the great thing about music is that it brings people together.
‘It’s the one place that people have to put their differences aside, put their s**t down and just everybody have a good time together, right? So I am thrilled to be a part of that healing experience…’
Madonna then joked that it was probably the first time that she ever performed with someone ‘shorter’ than her.

Madonna and Carpenter then dove into a performance of Like A Prayer while joined by other backup vocalists.
The iconic singer’s appearance on the Coachella stage comes 20 years after her headlining set back in 2006 at the music festival.
She later made a surprise cameo during Drake’s set a little over a decade later in 2015.
And now, the songstress is preparing for the release of her anticipated Confessions II comeback album.
