Seeing her onstage with pop music\u2019s current pillars shows Madonna\u2019s enduring legacy as a trailblazing cultural icon. And it continues the singer\u2019s long history of memorable appearances at the MTV Video Music Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today\u2019s list highlights three modern pop stars shaped by Madonna, including two of her musical descendants from last night\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sabrina Carpenter<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sabrina Carpenter - Espresso\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eVli-tstM5E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Listening to Sabrina Carpenter and Madonna on \u201cBring Your Love\u201d from <em>Confessions II<\/em> feels like a multi-generational pop arc\u2014the connecting piece between \u201cMaterial Girl\u201d and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/facts\/sabrina-carpenter\/espresso\">\u201cEspresso\u201d<\/a>. By 1984, Madonna was quickly becoming a dominant figure in pop music. When Carpenter\u2019s addictive hit became the 2024 song of the summer, it became so ubiquitous that it landed in a <em>Saturday Night Live<\/em> skit featuring Ariana Grande.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Say you can\u2019t sleep, baby, I know,<br>That\u2019s that me espresso<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Charli XCX<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Charli xcx - 360 (official video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WJW-VvmRKsE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From \u201cVogue\u201d to \u201cDanceteria\u201d, Madonna helped introduce underground culture to mainstream audiences. Similarly, Charli XCX, emerging from London\u2019s rave scene, changed the sound and attitude of modern music with maximalist hyperpop. Since 1990, Madge has had people voguing to house beats. And by the summer of 2024, Charli\u2019s album <em>Brat<\/em> became such a culture-shifting meme that it even touched Vice President Kamala Harris\u2019s presidential campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>I went my own way, and I made it,<br>I\u2019m your favorite reference, baby,<br>Call me Gabbriette, you\u2019re so inspired<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Lady Gaga<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Lady Gaga - Abracadabra (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vBynw9Isr28?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is only one Lady Gaga, but each time she reinvents herself, it\u2019s hard not to think of Madonna\u2019s own Bowie-like transformations. Like Madonna, Lady Gaga has also starred in films, including a rework of <em>A Star Is Born<\/em> alongside Bradley Cooper. But it\u2019s dance-pop bangers like \u201cBad Romance\u201d, \u201cPoker Face\u201d, and the furious \u201cAbracadabra\u201d that most recall Madonna\u2019s own dance floor classics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, the Material Girl may have paved the way, but each artist listed here has equally carved a unique path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Like a poem said by a lady in red,<br>You hear the last few words of your life.<br>With a haunting dance, now you\u2019re both in a trance,<br>It\u2019s time to cast your spell on the night<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Photo by Santiago Felipe\/GC Images<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Madonna opened last night\u2019s VMAs with high-profile guests, including Sabrina Carpenter and Charli XCX, her pop-music descendants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":973477,"featured_media":5955,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"byline":{"profiles":[{"type":"byline_id","atts":{"term_id":316,"post_id":2139}}]},"savage_platform_role_ideator":[],"savage_platform_role_editor":[],"savage_platform_role_senior_editor":[],"savage_platform_role_photographer":[],"savage_platform_role_illustrator":[],"savage_platform_role_translator":[],"savage_platform_role_as-told-to":[],"savage_platform_role_reviewed-by":[],"savage_platform_disable_recirculation":false,"savage_platform_article_type":"news","savage_platform_vice_article_type":"article","savage_platform_article_intent":"","savage_platform_show_affiliate_disclaimer":false,"savage_platform_markdown_available":false,"savage_platform_markdown_version":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"wp_curate_deduplication":false,"wp_curate_unique_pinned_posts":false,"savage_platform_featured_image_caption":"Photo by Santiago Felipe\/GC Images","_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"savage_platform_subheadline":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[132,36],"byline":[316],"class_list":["post-5952","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-lists","tag-madonna","tag-pop-music"],"savage_platform_primary_term":{"category":{"term_name":"Lists","term_id":14,"term_link":"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/articles\/category\/lists\/"},"post_tag":{"term_name":"madonna","term_id":132,"term_link":"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/articles\/tag\/madonna\/"}},"hide_from_homepage":false,"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
