Taylor Swift plays guitar for Madonna at iHeartRadio awards
There wasn’t a single cape or set of stairs in sight for Madge’s performance of ‘Ghosttown’
Madonna performed ‘Ghosttown’ - from her new album ‘Rebel Heart’ - live at the iHeartRadio awards last night. Following her now-infamous mishap at The BRITS at the end of February, Madge made the wise decision to leave her cape at home, and stairs and horn-wearing backing dancers were decidedly free from the stage area, too. Instead, Madonna bought another more trustworthy stagehand with her; Taylor Swift.
Taylor mainly stuck to playing guitar on one of the more ‘heartfelt and emotional yet cheery and upbeat’ love songs from Madonna’s new album, getting up from her Westlife stool at the very end for a quick boogie.
