Madonna joins Sabrina Carpenter at Coachella, returning two decades after debut

Pop star Sabrina Carpenter had fans going wild as she invited her idol Madonna onto the stage at Coachella.

Carpenter, 26, pulled out all the stops for her last show at the festival, with Madonna, 67, singing some of her biggest hits with her protege.

Together, the pair sang Madonna's hits Vogue and Like a Prayer, before delving into an unreleased song that is to be featured on her upcoming album, Confessions on the Dance Floor: Part II, which she announced this week and is set for release in July.

The Material Girl singer reminisced on playing Coachella earlier in her career.

"So, 20 years ago today I performed at Coachella. I was in the dance tent and it was the first time I performed Confessions on a Dance Floor Pt. 1 in America," she said.

"And that was such a thrill for me, so you can imagine what a thrill it is to be back 20 years later in the same boots, with the same corset, the jacket I had on earlier, a Gucci jacket.

"So it's like a full circle moment, you know? Very meaningful for me."

She also had a message and reminder for her fans.

"So, in all circumstances for the rest of the month, let's try to get along, OK? Let's try to avoid disagreements. And to that point, the great thing about music is that it brings people together," she said.

The Like a Virgin singer added she was "thrilled to be a part of that healing experience, bringing people together," before finishing off on four lines from her song Get Together from her 2005 album Confessions on the Dance Floor.
