If anyone likes a filter, it’s Madonna .
The Queen of Pop has basically become the Queen of Filters after brazenly posting heavily edited photos over the past several years.
But some fans believe that the “Material Girl” singer has gone too far after she posted an “unsettling” TikTok video before the Grammys . The viral video, which showed a close-up of her face, left fans worried for her.
It was only a few months ago that Madonna shocked fans with her use of photoshop.
The 63-year-old singer has looked unrecognizable in recent years due to the filters and photoshop work that make her look in her 20s. But what she posted back in February really took the cake.
The “Material Girl” singer posted a series of snaps that had people saying they missed her real face.
“Trying to make a movie… It’s really hard!” she wrote on one picture of her wearing a black puffer vest as she held a glass of wine.
“Wouldn’t have it any other way,” she wrote.
Fans were freaked out by her “baby face,” which completely erased her real age. I mean, I certainly would never guess her real age, would you?
“Could you please stop putting filters on your pictures,” one wrote.
“You’re too old, delete this,” another added. The other photos she posted showed her sitting down on a bed holding a phone and vape pen.
“Someone’s getting fired for this jacked-up photoshop,” a third added.
Fans reminded Madonna that it’s okay to age. “Can you show one photo without filters? It’s ok to age! And you can make it look graceful too….” another said.
They continued by adding:
“No need to pretend to be a teenager…not cool,” another said.
A lot of people online feel that way about older celebs, but in particular, when it comes to Madonna. Especially since this is behavior they’ve seen before.
This heavy photoshop is nothing new.
Back in March 2021, the singer came under fire for photoshopping herself onto someone else’s body while trying to promote her “Rebel Heart” album.
TikTok user, @ameliagoldie, the body Madonna brazenly stole, recounted the bizarre story.

“When Madonna posts a photo of herself to IG to promote her album but it’s actually your body (I’m not joking),” she wrote.
In an interview with Buzzfeed, Amelia said that she initially “thought it was a joke” when she saw Madonna’s head on her body.
“Then [I] realized it wasn’t because it was [posted on] her official account,” she said.
While she tried to reach out twice via Instagram to the singer’s team, she received no response. Can you say: yikes?
And believe it or not, the original photo is, in fact, still there.
In fact, many people online took it upon themselves to shame the singer for stealing it. “Horrible photoshop and you’re a horrible thief!!!!” one wrote.
Despite the criticism, Madonna’s bizarre behavior has only continued.
Before this year’s Grammy Awards, the singer posted a 13-second clip on TikTok that had fans worried.
In it, she is wearing a sheer top and silver chains with her blonde hair in four braids.
She came forward in the clip, coming so close to the camera as she pouted her lips.
TikTok users were left feeling “completely unsettled” by the bizarre clip. “Great! How am I supposed to close my eyes and fall asleep now!?” one wrote.
“This honestly scared me I’m not gonna lie,” one fan chimed in.
The post made many long for the Madonna they used to know.
“I’ve loved Madonna since I was little … huge fan… love her … but this is a hard pass…” another said.
That same fan continued by saying:
“What has she done to herself?” Which echoed most of the statements being made.
“I’m just going to remember how fabulous she was in the 90s. She was an icon,” a user said.
So far, Madonna has yet to comment on the controversy surrounding her video.
And if we’re being honest, I doubt she will. But I expect this is not the last strange video we will see!
