The pop icon wows fans with a daring bathtub shoot, leading to rumors of her upcoming music release.

Madonna has generated significant attention with her latest provocative photoshoot, which shows the 66-year-old pop icon posing half-naked on the edge of a bathtub. The images, shared on her Instagram account, depict Madonna in a black lingerie set and stockings, her hair styled in rollers, as she gives a bold glare to the camera. She captions the post, “Waiting is the hardest part,” leading fans to speculate that she may be preparing to release a new album.

Fans quickly flooded the comments section of her post. One admirer remarked, “How is this woman 66-years-old? She looks incredible,” while another praised her appearance, stating, “I hope I look like this when I’m her age. She’s killing it.” A third fan expressed that Madonna is “literally reforming age stereotypes,” noting her sensational looks whether the photos are edited or not.

This photoshoot comes in the wake of Madonna teasing her upcoming 15th studio album, which is said to be a sequel to her 2005 hit “Confessions On A Dance Floor.” The music legend had previously shared clips of herself with producer Stuart Price in the recording studio, hinting at her first new music release in five years. While many fans hoped for her inclusion in the Glastonbury Festival lineup this year to coincide with her new work, Madonna was notably absent from the announced roster earlier this month.

The photoshoot additionally follows a recent social media exchange between Madonna and emerging pop star Sabrina Carpenter, 25. Carpenter appeared to draw inspiration from Madonna’s iconic looks for a photoshoot, which included a striking resemblance to a photograph of Madonna taken by renowned photographer Steven Meisel in 1991. This image featured the artist in a barely-there outfit, a style that became significant during her career.

In response to Carpenter’s recreation of her look for the cover of Vogue, where she wore a turquoise corset and platinum blonde wig, Madonna remarked on Instagram, “Is this a Valentine’s present to me?” to which Carpenter responded affirmatively. Critics in the comments section noted the similarities between Carpenter’s look and Madonna’s iconic style, with one stating, “Madonna vibes,” while another remarked, “Hmm what’s the point in recreating a Marilyn Monroe / Madonna type image. Instead, be your own unique self.”

Sabrina Carpenter defended her fashion choices in a previous interview with Vogue, explaining that her style is inspired by strong, hyper-feminine women of the past. She expressed a desire to channel those influences while adding her own unique voice and persona to her performances.

Through this series of interactions and her recent breathtaking visuals, Madonna continues to captivate audiences and maintain her influence in the music and fashion industries, asserting her presence not just as a pop icon but as an enduring figure challenging the norms of aging and creativity.
