I’m very emotional about this:’ See what made Madonna choke up at her show in Miami
Madonna finished strong on the final night of the U.S. leg of Celebration tour in (where else?) Miami.
OK, so the Queen of Pop arrived two hours late to the Kaseya Center. Nothing new there, despite being sued by two impatient ticketholders from her NYC show in December. The singer’s lawyers just asked that the suit claiming “unconscionable, unfair, and/or deceptive trade practices” be tossed out.
All was forgiven once she made her grand entrance — because Madonna.
The Material Girl rocked the stage for right around three hours, belting out her greatest hits that span an almost unfathomable 40-year career.
On social media, some attendees mentioned the arena was on the steamy side — something else you must contend with at a Madonna concert. The Grammy winner prefers her venues warm to preserve her voice and stave off injuries. In fact, on Saturday night, fans recorded Madge abruptly stopping the performance because the A/C was too high.
“You don’t know how much I’ve been waiting for this whole f---ing show,” she griped. “I am working my a-s off, I deserve it. Respect me! The show will not go on until you respect me.”
But on Tuesday night, the mother of six seemed more pensive and contemplative, while paying tribute to the victims of the 2016 shooting at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, in which 49 people died. A few of the survivors and their families were in the audience.

“I want to draw attention to that moment because nightclubs and music and dance are what bring us together,” Madonna told the cheering crowd. “They shouldn’t be places or things that we do that bring us sadness and tragedy and murder and death and pain and suffering and trauma, but unfortunately, human beings are stuck in some kind of a rut.”
Then, her voice breaking: “I’m very emotional about this ...This s--t’s not supposed to happen. Don’t forget about it.”
