The show was the final stop on her Celebration Tour, celebrating her 40 years in music. It is estimated that over 1.6 million fans attended the show.

“Are you ready?” Madonna posted on her Instagram account hours before the show.

Crowds of fans danced to Madonna’s songs played from speakers on the stage before the SU singer arrived to perform.
