View Date:2024-12-24 00:18:46
Madonna is celebrating Pride Month in style.
The "Material Girl" singer, 65, made an appearance on Saturday at New York's LadyLand Festival, an outdoor queer music festival in Brooklyn.
She served as a judge of ballroom performers during the festival's Vogue Ball House Battle competition event, according to Billboard.
"Thank you all for coming out," Madonna told the crowd, according to a video shared on social media. "Aside from my birthday, New York Pride is the most important day of the year."
She concluded, "Thank you all, New York City. Without you, I am nothing."

Madonna, a longtime advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, celebrated the start of Pride Month earlier in June with an Instagram post thanking the "gay community that has always supported me from day one."
"In this increasingly chaotic world, we are living in. I will never stop fighting for diversity, inclusiveness and equal rights for all!!! DON'T HIDE YOUR PRIDE!" the singer wrote.
In 2019, she reflected on her support for − and from − the LGBTQ+ community during a performance.
"Since I came to New York as a wee-little girl, I have always been embraced by queer nation," she said. "I always felt like an outsider, but you made me feel like an insider, like somebody. So you must know how much I love and appreciate everyone here from the LGBTQ community."
