Madonna may appear diminutive amidst the towering presence of her man-mountain bodyguards.
Standing at just 5ft 4in, Madonna's petite frame is accentuated by her pig-tailed hairstyle. However, when she graces the O2 stage tonight for the inaugural performance of her 78-date Celebration Tour.
Madonna is set to send a clear message to contemporary powerhouses in the music industry, including Taylor Swift and Beyonce.
While these two formidable artists are often regarded as the industry's reigning queens, Madonna is determined to assert that her unparalleled legacy as the original Queen of Pop remains unmatched.
The burning question on everyone's mind is whether Madonna, at 65, can pull off a grueling seven-month world tour.
Such an endeavor would be demanding for any performer, but Madonna, known for her relentless pursuit of physical strength, is not letting age deter her from taking the stage once more.
Her musical director, Stuart Price, proclaimed, "The person who is going to take the stage looks incredible, sounds incredible, performs incredible."
