Ever since Madonna deleted all of her Instagram posts out of the blue a few days ago, rumours have been swirling about a possible world tour. And last night, our (like a) prayers were answered, as the Queen of Pop took to social media to announce her upcoming Celebration Tour that will kick off this summer and span 35 cities across the world.
But beyond the insanely exciting prospect of seeing Madonna perform all the greatest hits from her 40-year career for the first time ever, the best part of the announcement had to be the hilarious video that accompanied it.
In a brilliant twist on Madonna's iconic 1991 documentary Truth Or Dare, The Celebration Tour announcement video features the 64-year-old singer playing the classic game with friends including Amy Schumer, Lil Wayne, Diplo, Jack Black and Judd Apatow.

The video opens with Madonna 'daring' Amy Schumer to demonstrate how she 'licks [her] husband's butthole' on a piece of bread – in typically 'shocking' overtly sexual Madonna style. The group of friends then proceed to go around the champagne-bottle-strewn table and give each other various dares, including Madonna tongue-kissing Jack Black and recreating an iconic photo from her legendary Sex book.
The five-minute-long video ends with the biggest dare of all, as Amy Schumer dares Madonna to do a world tour and play all her greatest hits. 'That's a lot of songs,' says Madonna. 'Do you think people would come to that show?' Erm, DUH!!!!!
The Like A Virgin singer said in a statement, 'I am excited to explore as many songs as possible in hopes to give my fans the show they have been waiting for.'
The fashion, the music, the fabulousness... We literally can't wait. Kicking off on July 15 in Vancouver and hitting London on October 14, the general public will be able to buy tickets for Madonna's 'The Celebration Tour' from January 20. Find out more here.
