Madonna blames ‘ageism,’ ‘misogyny’ for remarks about her face; some fans don’t agree

LOS ANGELES — Madonna is clapping back at people who criticized her appearance at the 2023 Grammys on Sunday.

In an Instagram post shared Tuesday evening, the “Material Girl” singer said some fans paid more attention to her face than to her efforts to celebrate trailblazing LGBTQ artists like Kim Petras, who is transgender, and Sam Smith, who is gay. The duo performed “Unholy” and the song made Grammys history.

“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!!” she wrote. “Once again I am caught in the glare of ageism and misogyny That permeates the world we live in.”
