Pole dancers dressed like nuns, Mike Tyson and nonstop theatrics. Welcome to the church of Madonna.
The pop star kicked off her Rebel Heart Tour in Montreal on Wednesday night, belting out a mix of her Iconic hits and new music from her recently released album, also titled, Rebel Heart.
She even performed Material Girl for the first time since 1990’s “Blond Ambition” tour.
The tour stops in Portland at the Moda Center on Oct. 17.
DJ and producer Diplo warmed up the crowd with an hourlong set.
The show opened with a video featuring Mike Tyson, Chance the Rapper and Madonna, in which she addressed topics ranging from censorship to dictatorship. She then descended to the stage in a cage.
Madonna wasted no time getting to fan favorites including Burning Up and a mash-up of Holy Water with Vogue. She then pulled a classic move and ripped off her skirt to reveal a barely there nun’s outfit and started to pole dance.
Madonna then used one of her dancers, also dressed as a nun, to ride like a surfboard. Dancers then lined the stage to re-create the Last Supper, with Madonna as the main course.
Madonna, 57, then moved to the nostalgic, singing Body Shop, True Blue, Deeper And Deeper and her first No. 1 hit, Like A Virgin.
After performing for nearly two hours and changing into countless outfits designed by Miuccia Prada, Jeremy Scott and Alexander Wang, among others, Madonna ended the concert with a crowd favorite.
Draped in a Canadian flag, she had nearly everyone on their feet dancing to Holiday.
