It’s official! Madonna turned 60 on August 16, and the Queen of Pop enters the club “sexagenarian.” Reportedly, she celebrated the milestone with a trip to Marrakesh, Morocco with her children. Throughout her career, the pop’s definitive icon has earned applause for her impressive feats, never missing an opportunity to push the limits and even test the boundaries of public decency. Being the biggest-selling tourist artist in the world, Madonna is one who can never be described how flawlessness she is in a few words. She goes stronger than ever! On her 60th birthday, Twitterati naturally could not stop showering their wishes. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan to Play Indian Madonna in Fanne Khan?
Madonna’s reinvention, sexual freedom and female empowerment not only pushed boundaries but helped future pop divas to continue that legacy. Many have tried to imitate her for obvious reasons, but she reigns the world. Not just birthday wishes, even The Material Girl too had taken it upon herself to remind everyone about her special day— “in case someone forgot.” And she did mention that she is the “the queen” too.
Sixty and Sassy!

Forever thankful to my mum for having @Madonna on repeat during my childhood! I grew up appreciating a true icon who has never been afraid to push boundaries and push BACK when faced with the struggles of fame. An innovative queen 🙌🏻👑 #MadonnaAt60

Happy birthday @Madonna. One of the most fascinating, complex and creative women on the planet. I know few people who haven't been influenced by her in some way. If you don't think that includes you, sorry, but she revolutionised the way people discuss sex. Love her! #MadonnaAt60 pic.twitter.com/EMPfPmC55J

The singer spent her 60th birthday eve with twin daughters Estere ad Stella. But obviously it cannot end in a simple way! She marked the occasion with a monthlong Facebook fundraiser to benefit the orphans and children in Malawi. Making that a hit, Madonna even shared a very special performance from this year’s Met Gala.

What more do her fans want on the big day! This year, Madonna welcomed her 60th birthday with 300 million album sales, 22 film appearances and a Grammy Award. Defining the odd, she has not simply survived but dominated the pop culture like a pro. From the moment she debuted in 1983 with her self-titled dance-pop album, Madonna has since been unapologetic, unafraid and unabashed in her career spanning over three decades. Happiest birthday to the consistently innovative and continually evolving diva. And we only hope for never ending Madonna eras!
