Madonna played I Love New York for the first time in 15 years while launching the US leg of her ‘Celebration World Tour’.
The Like A Prayer hitmaker opened her latest run of shows at the city’s Barclays Center on Wednesday (December 13) and delivered a set packed with classic hits like Nothing Really Matters, Open Your Heart, Don’t Tell Me, Hung Up and Ray Of Light.
While the setlist remained largely the same as the European leg, Madonna did add the ‘Confessions On A Dance Floor’ album track, re-working the electro-pop tune into a driving, guitar-led anthem.
She told the crowd: “It’s so great to be home… I mean that in a way that only New Yorkers know.
“New Yorkers can identify with just-not-giving-a-fuck motherfuckers. We do shit our way. New York is not for little pussies who sleep.”
