PALM SPRINGS, CA — Forty years ago, Madonna rose to mega-stardom with her debut studio album, "Madonna."

The Celebration Tour will feature special guest Bob the Drag Queen a.k.a. Caldwell Tidicue across all dates on the global tour. A longtime supporter of LGBTQ+ rights, Madonna and her Celebration Tour will stop in Nashville on Dec. 22. Tennessee has anti-LGBTQ+ legislation on the books, and Madonna announced a portion of proceeds from her Nashville concert will go to trans rights organizations.
“The oppression of the LGBTQ+ is not only unacceptable and inhumane; it’s creating an unsafe environment; it makes America a dangerous place for our most vulnerable citizens, especially trans women of color," Madonna said. "Also, these so-called laws to protect our children are unfounded and pathetic. Anyone with half a brain knows not to f*#@ with a drag queen."
