Everyone's 'Hung Up' on Madonna's Grammy...

About this episode

Madonna is once again facing controversy. At Sunday's Grammy Awards, the Queen of Pop introduced Sam Smith and Kim Petras for a performance of their hit song "Unholy." But even though Sam and Kim slayed their time on stage, it was Madge's face that stole the show. Social media exploded with criticism about her appearance and speculation about plastic surgery. Of course, Madonna's not taking this lying down - she clapped back at her haters, accusing them of sexism and misogyny. We know that stars can't escape the brutal judgement from the public, but isn't it time we let women like Madonna age however the hell they want?!
