Kelly Ripa Joins Madonna Onstage During 'Celebration' Tour

Fans Disappointed as Madonna Ignores Former Background Singers

Kelly Ripa, co-host of 'Live with Kelly and Mark', was invited onstage by Madonna during her 'Celebration' tour at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Ripa was asked to guest judge the 'Vogue' ballroom portion of Madonna's concert, a segment where Madonna has been inviting celebrities to join her onstage.
Fans were disappointed as Madonna did not acknowledge her former background singers, Niki Haris and Donna De Lory, who were in the audience, leading to speculation of a reunion.
Ripa, a lifelong Madonna fan, expressed her excitement and disbelief at being invited onstage during her morning show, 'Live with Kelly and Mark'.
Madonna's 'Celebration' tour has been marked by inviting various celebrities onstage, including Diplo, Julia Fox, Donatella Versace, Debi Mazar, and Madonna’s daughter Lourdes Leon.
