Madonna is speaking out against "ageism and misogyny" in response to comments mocking her appearance at the Grammy Awards.

The "Material Girl" singer responded on Instagram after a flood of derogatory comments about how she looked when she introduced a performance at Sunday's Grammys. "Fans 'so confused' by Madonna's 'new face' at Grammys 2023," a headline from Page Six read, as viral tweets suggested she "has a whole new face" and looks like a "2,700-year-old vampire."
