Madonna Welcomes Cardi B, Daughter Estere on Stage for ‘Vogue’ Session in Los Angeles

Cardi B took the stage and Madonna’s daughter Estere struck a pose as the Queen of Pop completed the west coast swing of her Celebration Tour on Monday night (March 11).

Madonna tapped Cardi as her latest celebrity guest judge for the “Vogue” dance-off, a fun spot in her show’s step-back-in-time format.

There was no beating Estere, who, aged just 11, danced her way to a perfect score of 10. The youngster has something of a head-start; Estere cut shapes last October on opening night of Madonna’s Celebration Tour at the O2 Arena in London, for a routine to her mom’s 1990 dance anthem.

Fan-captured footage shows the latest diva moment in all its glory.

Before tonight, Madonna had enlisted the services of Eric Andre, Terri Joe, Ali Wong and Alexa Demie as judges for the “Vogue” spot.

Katy Perry, Paris Jackson, Rosie O’Donnell, Corey Feldman, and Erika Jayne were all in attendance tonight as Madonna completed her five-night stand at the Kia Forum in Inglewood.

The iconic singer’s trek is a career-spanning look back on her hits, personal struggles, pop culture impact and enduring influence.

On night one of her L.A. stretch, the 65-year-old superstar revealed that the severe bacterial infection she suffered in June 2023 –which led to her hospitalization and the postponement of her current run— at one point made it nearly impossible for her to move around.

Then, pop planets collided last week when Madonna joined forces with Kylie Minogue on stage for a duet of Kylie’s “Can’t Get You Out Of My Head” and a cover of Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive,” a party favorite with the LGBT+ community.

On another night, Madonna was quick to apologize when she accidentally called out a fan in a wheelchair for sitting during her performance.

Next stop on the Celebration Tour — Acrisure Arena in Thousand Palms this Wednesday night (March 13).
