MANILA, Philippines – On the first day of her Rebel Heart Tour stop in Manila, Madonna delivered a breathtaking spectacle of a show. (IN PHOTOS: Madonna’s ‘Rebel Heart’ concert live in Manila, day 1)
There were unforgettable moments, too, especially for superfan Shahani Gania (aka Super Starlet), who cherished every moment of dancing with Madonna onstage. (IN PHOTOS: Stars at Madonna’s ‘Rebel Heart’ Manila concert, day 1)
On the second night, Thursday, February 25, she also gave the Mall of Asia Arena crowd something they will never forget.
Again, Madonna thrilled Filipino fans with a dazzling, theatrical performance and a set that took them through a prolific career that spans more than 3 decades. (IN PHOTOS: Stars at Madonna’s ‘Rebel Heart’ Manila concert, day 2)
From classics like “Holiday,” “Like a Virgin,” and “Vogue,” to new tracks like “Iconic” and “B*tch, I’m Madonna” off her latest record Rebel Heart, Her Madgesty showed the Manila crowd that she indisputably reigns as the Queen of Pop.
She turned on the heat by adding “Dress You Up” and “Lucky Star” to her usual set – and flamenco-dancing to these timeless tunes. But the real treat for the fans in attendance was “Crazy For You,” a Filipino household favorite. (WATCH: Madonna performs ‘Crazy For You’ for PH fans on 30th EDSA anniversary)
