Defiant Madonna says 'it's not my first rodeo' as nasty trolls tell her 'get off stage'

Madonna has defiantly declared "it's not my first rodeo" as she prepares to embark on her latest tour amid criticism from trolls.

The star is getting ready for her Celebration tour where she will be performing all of her greatest hits from her 50 year back catalogue.

Sharing some backstage footage, the 64-year-old declared it was 'not my first day at the rodeo!' as she rehearsed wearing a black lace top paired with a gothic skirt and black stockings.

Over the top of her outfit she wore a black jacket and accessorised with some necklaces and an M ring.

The star had her now-iconic auburn hair tied in braids with a cowboy hat.

Madonna went for her usual full glam makeup look.

She confirmed that she will be performing a 35-city string of gigs last month.

The tour will kick off in Vancouver before going to multiple cities in the Unites States and Canada, as well as the United Kingdom and Europe.

It will begin on July 15 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, BC with stops in Detroit, Chicago, New York, Miami, Los Angeles.

Madonna will then make her way to Europe where she will perform at 11 cities throughout autumn, including London on October 24, before going onto Barcelona, Paris, and Stockholm and others.

The Celebration Tour will finish in Amsterdam, NL on Friday, December 1 at Ziggo Dome.

This comes as Madonna was criricised for her appearance at the Grammys.

She said at the time that due to a long lens camera, her face was distorted and it made appeared rounder and puffier than it actually was.

Madonna introduced Kim Petras and Sam Smith's performance.

Taking to Instagram, she wrote: "Instead of focusing on what I said in my speech which was about giving thanks for the fearlessness of artists like Sam and Kim- Many people chose to only talk about Close-up photos of me Taken with a long lens camera By a press photographer that Would distort anyone’s face!!

"Once again I am caught in the glare of ageism and misogyny That permeates the world we live in.
A world that refuses to celebrate women past the age of 45 And feels the need to punish her If she continues to be strong willed, hard-working and adventurous."
