Dear Madonna,
I’m reaching out as a long-time fan, someone who’s been cheering you on for three decades. I’ve been following your recent press tour for your album, Rebel Heart, and your comments about ageism really struck a chord. You’ve made some bold statements about how women seem to judge your looks more harshly than men do, and your fierce proclamation: “This is what a 56-year-old ass looks like, motherfuckers!” I get it, Madge—it’s a tough world out there, especially when it comes to age.
But here’s the thing: I think you might be missing the mark. We Gen X women aren’t the ones mocking you. Instead, we feel a little let down. It’s painful to say, but I think we need to have this conversation.
You’ve taught us so much over the years—how to express ourselves, embrace our sexuality, and live boldly. You’ve been a powerhouse, a mother, and an icon. But somewhere along the way, it seems like fear crept in. When you showed up with a new look, it felt like you were hiding. Did you think we wouldn’t notice? Your transformation sparked a lot of chatter, and not in a good way.
Your decision to alter your appearance sent a message that you were worried about aging. It’s disheartening to see someone who’s been such a symbol of strength and independence submit to the pressure to look eternally youthful. You’ve always been a trailblazer, and instead of fighting against the unrealistic standards that society imposes on women, you seemed to embrace them.
I think many of us, who have looked up to you, feel disappointed because we wanted you to lead the charge against these norms. We looked to you for guidance on how to navigate life’s later years with grace and confidence. You’ve inspired us to seize the moment and embrace who we are, but it feels like you’re not fully embracing that for yourself.
And let’s be real—your dedication to fitness and health is commendable. We see how hard you work to maintain your physique, but at some point, pretending to be something you’re not becomes sad. It’s like the aging starlet who’s only valued for her looks—what happens when that façade crumbles?
I’ve been waiting for that next epiphany from you, something as profound as “Ray of Light” that reflects on the changes we all face, like motherhood, aging, and acceptance. Perhaps you could share your thoughts on navigating life’s transitions, like menopause or the bittersweet experience of watching your kids grow up.
Madonna, the truth is, it’s not your fans who are holding you back from growing older gracefully. It’s you.
Take care,
Jess
