When you think of musical besties, Beyoncé and Madonna aren't two names that immediately spring to mind. Still, they've been setting friendship goals since before that was a thing. And they appear to have been doing it in plain sight. According to W Magazine, the first time they were publicly seen together was in 2011. They were front and center at Chicago's United Center to help bid farewell to Oprah Winfrey's daytime talk show era. The magazine claims the music legends already "looked rather chummy" as they huddled together on the stage.
Per Reuters, Beyoncé and Madonna created a holy trinity in 2013 when they joined forces with Bishop Desmond Tutu in the name of female empowerment. Madonna hosted with panache, and Beyoncé sang her heart out at the "Sound of Change" concert. As for the late great South African bishop? The jury's out regarding his performance.
They also regularly attend each other's concerts and post adorable online tributes afterward. "Mrs. Carter crushes the BK with her badass show! Girls run the world!" Madonna captioned a blurry concert pic in 2013, according to W Magazine. "Mercy James gets a big fat one from the Queen B!" She captioned another showing Beyoncé leaning down to kiss the little girl. Meanwhile, Beyoncé Legion posted a pic of their idol and her hubby, Jay-Z, watching Madonna perform during her Rebel Heart Tour in 2015. Then there are the collaborations, gushing homages, and interviews.
