The media needs to get off Madonna's click.
Tabloid journalists have been going the extra mile to try to paint Madonna in the most negative possible light during her Rebel Heart Tour. For a woman they've been calling “irrelevant” for years, it's remarkable that every time Madonna took the stage late, it spawned major international headlines and served as reliable clickbait.
On top of her tardiness, Madonna has been called out for being drunk or even on pills (or both), totally new fronts in the decades-long assault on her integrity as an artist and on her character. Already slurring her as a problem drinker, it wasn't a very big leap for the press to begin using the coded descriptor “bizarre” for Madonna's onstage behavior. Calling her bizarre, coupled with impugning her sobriety, is just a new way to make Madonna seem unworthy of her fame and success and of the support she receives from admirers—and becomes another argument for why the only woman to ever earn a billion dollars touring (helped along by $100+ on her latest tour) needs to retire already.
At age 57.
The latest scandal, hyped up to seem as vile as possible for outraged consumption by people planted in front of their computers: Madonna “humiliatingly” exposed an underage girl live onstage during her final concert in Brisbane, Australia. Except it turns out all that happened was an unintentional wardrobe malfunction (the fan was in a corset with nipple rings attached) that the 17-year-old fan described as “the best moment of my life.” The fan went on to state:

Though serious and are-you-serious? journalists are reporting that Madonna is routinely drunk and/or on pills during her Rebel Heart Tour, fans who've seen the show would have to agree that its intricacy is not something someone under the influence could navigate as fluidly as Madonna has been doing.
Sad about Rocco? Yes. Acting out because of it? Yes. Wasted? They wish. And don't kid yourselves—they sincerely wish that. The senior editor of Entertainment Weekly, in reporting that there is “concern” for Madonna's behavior went on to characterize her as “crazy.”
Thanks for your thoughtfulness.
Hot on the heels of the raft of bad publicity comes word that though Rebel Heart has grossed less than MDNA ($305.2M, 11th highest-grossing tour ever) or Sticky & Sweet ($408M, 2nd highest-grossing tour of all time, highest-grossing solo tour of all time) before it (and more than all her other tours), the tour has raked in over $100 million and has helped Madonna across the career $1 billion mark.
Only six artists have done this, and here is how they rank:
