Watch Madonna Celebrate Her Epic 2026 MTV VMAs With a Hotel Room Bed Dance Party Featuring Charli xcx and Julia Garner
After the party, there was definitely an after party.
Madonna made a stunning return to the 2026 MTV VMAs with a spectacular opening performance and a record-breaking seven awards. Following the show, she celebrated with friends Charli xcx and actress Julia Garner in a viral TikTok video. In the 21-second clip, the trio embraced a lively dance party in a hotel room, flinging their hair, kicking, and hair-flipping to a remix of Madonna's Confessions II track "Danceteria Afterhours."
Madonna, on all fours, led the energetic routine, while Garner, dressed in white, posed and raised her arms in triumph. The night kicked off earlier with Madonna performing her first VMA set in 23 years, featuring collaborations with Sabrina Carpenter and Charli xcx. The performance featured a gospel choir and a transition into the "Danceteria" remix, which then led to the hotel room dance party.
Madonna's victory at the VMAs marked her career-high seven awards, bringing her total to 26 VMAs in competition, placing her just behind Taylor Swift (32) and Beyoncé (29) in the all-time leaderboard.
