Internet users around the world experienced significant disruption following the release of a short video from which the Queen of Pop Madonna herself emerged.
The legendary singer Madonna makes news once more by exploring new limits in entertainment and fashion and s*xual identity. The singer tossed pink lingerie into the frame as she joined a TikTok trend leading to her missing her target.
A video which went viral on TikTok shows Madonna holding pink underwear while wearing white attire and pink coloured hair as she stands with self-assurance on her official TikTok page. Text appeared on the display stating :
“If I miss this target then I’ll identify as g*y.”
The act of throwing the underwear across the room toward the trash can was performed by Madonna but she failed to hit the target. After the camera footage aired Madonna rejected attention by flipping her body away from the camera lens while giving a subtle shoulder toss.
Right after posting the video fans quickly spilled into the comment section.
The questions flew fast about whether Madonna had just revealed her s*xual orientation to the world. One audience member applauded Madonna by writing “Good for her.”
Another added: “Madonna has been an out bis*xual for literally decades, my dudes.”
The music video received a significant watch count before becoming a major trend on Google search engines that elevated Madonna to the top spot as the most searched topic in the United States. Still, many questioned whether this was a true revelation or just another clever use of TikTok’s “If I miss…” trend.
True believers of Madonna’s fan base remained unimpressed by the breakthrough announcement since they recognized her honest stance in the pop industry for years.
Through many years Madonna has established herself as an activist for LGBTQ+ rights while continuously showing her flexibility towards s*xual preferences. In a 1991 interview with The Advocate, she famously said:
“I think everybody has a bis*xual nature.”
In another later interview when asked about her experience with women she replied
“I won’t say I have never slept with a woman but…” I love men.”
Throughout the years Madonna has displayed brazen same-s*x moments starting with her on-stage kisses with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera at the 2003 VMAs through her hugs with Nicki Minaj during a birthday party and eventually progressing to sensual kissing of two women during her 64th birthday celebration in Italy.
The singer has a connection history with notable male celebrities such as Tupac Shakur, Dennis Rodman, Vanilla Ice and Michael Jackson. After her marriages to Sean Penn and Guy Ritchie Madonna became a mother to their children.
The release date of her video just before National Coming Out Day on October 11 has made fans focus on the video as a personal statement.
Social media platforms such as TikTok enable celebrities to experiment with identity narratives during which queerbaiting practices have sparked criticism about falsely promoting LGBTQ+ content.
Some people drew parallels between Madonna’s video and a bis*xual declaration made by actress Shay Mitchell through a confusing yet playful message.
People believe Madonna demonstrates actual commitment to the LGBTQ+ community through decades of involvement despite criticism that her behavior remains performative.
The queen either chose a deliberate coming out or simply sought to generate public discussion about it.
Through her ten-second video disclosure Madonna consistently demonstrates the skill to dominate the internet.
