Madonna, 64, also expressed her disappointment over how viewers were more obsessed with her face rather than her words at the Grammys, where she paid tribute to Sam Smith and Kim Petras for “making history”.

“I have been degraded by the media since the beginning of my career but I understand that this is all a test and I am happy to do the trailblazing so that all the women behind me can have an easier time in the years to come.”
