Madonna and Elton John Finally Make Peace After Decades of Feud
So here’s something that feels kind of surreal to say out loud—Madonna and Elton John have actually buried the hatchet. After decades of public jabs, icy interviews, and award show shade, the two pop icons have finally called a truce, and not just behind closed doors. Nope, this happened backstage at Saturday Night Live , and it sounds like it could lead to something pretty magical.

Let’s rewind a bit. Their feud really took off in the early 2000s, when Elton, never one to hold back, accused Madonna of lip-syncing during live performances. At one point, he even said people who mime on stage should be “shot” for charging fans so much. Ouch. Madonna’s camp clapped back, saying she didn’t waste her time tearing down other artists. Things just escalated from there. He even mocked her chances at winning a Golden Globe in 2012—but then she did win, and still kept things classy, saying she hoped he’d talk to her again someday. A true queen move.
Fast forward to this past weekend. Madonna heard Elton was performing on SNL with Brandi Carlile and decided to confront him. But instead of fireworks, what she got was an apology. According to her Instagram post, the very first words out of his mouth were, “Forgive me.” She says at that moment, the wall between them fell. I mean, that’s actually kind of beautiful.
She also opened up about how much she’d admired him since she was a teen, how seeing him live in high school changed the course of her life, and how it hurt that someone she looked up to publicly disliked her for so long. That’s a side of Madonna we don’t always get to see—raw and real.
And here’s the kicker: Elton told her he had written a song for her and wanted to collaborate. Yes, you heard that right. After all that drama, we might actually be getting a Madonna-Elton John duet. Talk about turning bitterness into brilliance.
Elton chimed in too, thanking her for forgiving his “big mouth” and acknowledging how she’s paved the way for generations of women in music. He even touched on how divided the world feels right now, and how coming together can actually make great things happen.
Honestly, seeing two legends let go of their pride and reconnect like this? It’s kind of inspiring. It reminds us that even in the wild world of pop music—where egos, awards, and headlines can keep people apart for years—there’s still room for growth, humility, and maybe even harmony.
