Fans ‘so confused’ by Madonna’s ‘new face’ at Grammys 2023

Several fans took to social media to share their confusion over Madonna’s appearance at the 2023 Grammys on Sunday.

The “Vogue” songstress, 64, took the stage to introduce Kim Petras and Sam Smith for their “Unholy” appearance when fans commented on her look — specifically her face.

“Me attempting to ignore the fact that Madonna has a whole new face. #GRAMMYs,” one fan tweeted along with a meme video of Adele looking confused at a basketball game.

“Whaaaaaat happened to Madonna’s face?! #GRAMMYs,” someone else wrote.

“This legit looks like a Madonna impersonator with pics of the [sic] real Madonna in the background. She really f–ked up her face,” another person wrote, referring to photos projected on the stage of Madonna’s most iconic looks over the years.

“Madonna looks good for her age … if her age is 2,700-year-old vampire who eats babies and small animals alive,” someone else chimed in.

“Has Madonna been nominated for ‘Best New Face’ at this year’s Grammy Awards?” a user quipped.

“What magic formula was used to create #Madonna’s new face👀🤷🏽‍♀️? I’m so confused #GRAMMYs,” someone else added along with a gif of different math equations.

The “Material Girl” songstress kept her hair back in braid ponytails with dangling tight braids down the front sides of her face, which appeared neutral with her bleached eyebrows.

She wore a matching black blazer dress and maxi skirt over a white collared shirt and black tie and spiced it up with fishnet tights, purple platform heels, and Loree Rodkin jewelry.

The “Material Girl” songstress — who has yet to acknowledge any of her haters — briefly appeared at the 65th annual award show to introduce Smith and Petras.

“Here’s what I’ve learned after four decades in music,” she began in her speech. “If they call you shocking, scandalous, troublesome, problematic, provocative, or dangerous, you’re definitely onto something.”

The Queen of Pop thanked all of her fellow “rebels” for “forging a new path and taking the heat for all of it.”

Madonna — who will hit the road later this year for her “Celebration” tour — has been one to receive several notes of concern and criticism over the last year for her “freaky” face. Plastic surgeons previously told Page Six they believe she’s had a facelift, nose job, and “pulled back” skin — among other work.
