This piece is part of EDGE's 2024 Rewind series. We're reaching into our archives and sharing some of our favorite stories from the past year.
Latino pop god Ricky Martin was Madonna's special guest for the evening during the Miami April 7 stop of her Celebration tour.
As per the run of show, Martin helped judge an impromptu voguing competition among the Queen of Pop's dancers, and the Puerto Rican superstar was given scorecard for the occasion.
In footage making the rounds online, fans of Martin and Madonna started doing a double take as it appeared Martin might have become a little bit too happy during one of the dance routines, which included a dancer grinding sensually on Martin.
The moment led many people on social media to ask, are we seeing what we think we are seeing?
Well, see for yourself below.
Martin appeared on the second night of Madonna's Celebration tour stop in Miami. In another video from the evening, Madonna berated the arena's staff for turning the air conditioning on too high, when she requested it be turned down to protect her voice and health.
"You don't know how much I've been waiting for this whole fucking show. I am working my ass off, I deserve it. Respect me. The show will not go on until you respect me," she said to the crowd, presumably talking to organizers backstage.
Next, Madonna's fans can catch her Celebration tour in Mexico City on Apr. 20. The tour wraps May 4 with a free concert at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
