Madonna Biography, Age, Height, Weight, Family, Husband, Net Worth

Madonna is an American vocalist, musician and entertainer. Madonna has been dubbed the “Queen of Pop” for her constant reinvention and versatility in songwriting, music production, and visual presentation. Madonna has pushed the limits of creative articulation in standard music, while proceeding to keep up with command over each part of her vocation. Her works, which consolidate social, political, sexual, and strict topics, have produced both discussion and basic recognition. Madonna, a well-known cultural figure throughout the 20^th and 21^st centuries, continues to be one of the most “well-documented figures of the modern age.” She is the subject of numerous academic reviews and works of literature, as well as a mini-discipline in academia called Madonna studies.
