Madonna rolls around in bed with Charli XCX and Julia Garner after ‘confused’ VMAs performance
Madonna tried to shrug off a disappointing attempted comeback at the MTV Video Music Awards early on Monday morning as she partied in bed with her disciples Charli XCX and Julia Garner.
The 68-year-old Material Girl shared a TikTok video around 3am in which she writhed around on a hotel bed while Charli and Garner both danced for the camera.
In the comments, fans poked fun at the three women’s over-the-top antics and Madonna’s unhinged expressions.
The Daily Mail has reached out to representatives for Madonna, Charli XCX and Julia Garner for comment but has not yet received a response.
The TikTok video, which was soundtracked with Madonna and Charli’s song Danceteria Afterhours, opened with Charli, 34, leaning against the bed and flipping her raven hair back while wearing a black bra and matching pants that highlighted her toned midriff.
Madonna – whose family staged an intervention after her disappointing VMAs performance – was on all fours on top of the bed and wore an all-black ensemble.
As the camera zoomed in, the singer (born Madonna Ciccone) bizarrely opened her mouth as wide as it would go while staring with a dead-eyed expression.
Then it was Garner’s turn to take center stage as she did a short, sultry dance while sitting on her knees on the bed.
The 32-year-old actress, who was once picked by Madonna to play her in a now-shelved biopic, looked like a dead ringer for the veteran performer with her peroxide-blond curls and her cream-colored satin slip dress.
As Madonna continued to writhe around on the bed and flip her long hair in the air, the camera turned back to Charli, who got up and playfully kicked at the camera before flashing both middle fingers as the video wrapped up.
In the comments, fans couldn’t help but poke fun at Madonna’s shocking facial expressions.
‘Help her,’ one person wrote while sharing a screenshot of the Like A Virgin singer’s gaping mouth.
Others jokingly suggested that the three women had gotten an energy boost just before they started filming.
Show me the bathroom counter NOW,’ read one representative comment.
Another poster joked: ‘What happens to the first person who falls asleep?’
Other commenters had a laugh at a group of people who were briefly seen sitting on the ground and standing near a door, away from the action but not completely out of Charli’s shot.
‘For me it’s the tired assistants sat on the floor waiting to be told to go home,’ one fan wrote.
Do the other people just sit in a semi circle and watch the three celebs interact with each other[?]’ another fan wondered.
Madonna shared her video after she made a disappointing comeback performance at the MTV VMAs on Sunday night.
She sparked concern among fans as she appeared to forget why she was onstage as she scooped the award for Best Dance at the 2026 ceremony.
The Queen of Pop, who was earlier derided online for her ‘utterly unfocused’ opening performance of hits Bring Your Love and Danceteria Afterhours Remix, took home seven honors on the night, yet seemed confused as she took to the stage.
Madonna joined Charli XCX and Troye Sivan to accept the prize for Confessions II – The Film – yet her acceptance speech took an awkward turn when she quipped: ‘I’m kind of unclear as to what this award is for?’
The awkward moment unfolded as Madonna took to the stage and declared, ‘First of all, I want to get this thing out of my a**. It’s been there all night’, before reaching behind her.
‘My microphone is too short!’, she then cried out.
She pulled Sivan and Charli into her, saying, ‘Safety in numbers. I’m kind of unclear as to what this award is for. I guess it’s for the short film?’ before Charli opened the announcement card to jog her memory.
Madonna continued, ‘I feel, like, good surrounded by people who like to dance, Charli, Troye’, before adding, ‘You guys didn’t get the joke about the laser up my a**, did you?
‘It was up there all night before I took it out.’
The singer added: ‘Dance is where everything happened for me in my life. If you love to dance, stand up… we’re all equal on the dance floor.’ Madonna then left the stage.
The star earlier shocked fans as she made a blockbuster return to the ceremony, 23 years after her steamy kiss with Britney Spears made pop culture history.
She showed off her toned frame in a Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello ensemble – but fans quickly slammed the star for making a ‘mess’ of her performance.
Madonna donned a black satin trench coat, a red leotard and knee-high boots as she performed her hit Bring Your Love with her collaborator, Sabrina Carpenter, 27.
The pop icon was seen draped in latex in a steamy visual, accompanied by the statement, ‘It’s mother!’ before dancers contorted themselves on stage – while lasers shot from their crotches.
