After Beyonce’s daughter Blue Ivy stunned the Beyhive at the Renaissance World Tour with her incredible talent, now it’s the turn of Madonna’s 11-year-old daughter Estere to take the main stage.

The Material Girl singer kicked off her Celebration Tour Saturday night in London’s O2 arena, and fans of the Queen of Pop were excited to see many special guests steal the limelight.

One of them was the fierce Estere, who impressed concertgoers with her improvised dance set to her mother’s iconic hit, Vogue. The song’s title refers to a dance style that originated in the Harlem underground ballroom scene in the 1980s.

To vogue, dancers shift their bodies and strike poses to imitate a catwalk model, using a lot of hand movements and death drops, which is exactly what Estere did in her black and yellow catsuit.

Her mom and Lourdes Leon, the hitmaker’s eldest daughter, served as judges and gave their approval by holding up the number “10” paddles.

“She’s gonna be a superstar! No doubt,” one fan wrote.

Madonna adopted Estere Ciccone and her twin sister, Stella, in February 2017 when the girls were four years old.

“I thought, ‘What am I waiting for? Why isn’t my kitchen filled with dancing children?’” she told People Magazine following the adoption.

But Estere isn’t the only Madonna heir to show popstar potential. The Like A Virgin singer also welcomed her 17-year-old daughter Chifundo “Mercy” James and her 18-year-old son David Banda Ritchie onstage for surprise performances.

Mercy took the piano to play the instrumental for Bad Girl, a single featured in Madonna’s fifth studio album, Erotica.

Naturally, fans reacted to the performance by complimenting the teenager on her immense talent. 

One fan wrote: “This was the highlight of the show,” while another one said “17 years old and you’re going to outshine everyone like that? Ok girl!”

The pianist was born in Malawi in 2006. The Michigan-born pop star applied to adopt her three years after her divorce from ex-husband Guy Ritchie.

As for David, he joined the stage with his guitar to play Prince’s Let’s Go Crazy and his mom’s 2003 song Mother and Father, a moving tribute to Madonna’s late mother, who passed away from breast cancer.

Speaking of the bond she shares with her children, the mother of six told Vanity Fair Italy in January: “Having children and raising them is a work of art. And no one gives you a manual. You have to learn from mistakes. It’s a job that takes a lot of time. And it’s tiring because there’s never rest.”

The career-spanning tour, which celebrates the 40th anniversary of the Queen of Pop’s first studio album, was meant to start on July 15 but was postponed due to a serious bacterial infection that sent the singer to the ICU for several days.

In addition to Estere, children Mercy James and David Banda Richie also made surprise appearances on stage

The Celebration tour marked her return to stadium and arena touring since her Madame X shows in 2019 and 2020. While some shows were canceled because the singer suffered knee and hip injuries, the last ten were nixed because of the pandemic.

Fans applauded the young stars for their performances

This is all well and good if the folks paying (a no doubt hefty ticket price) were on board. I bought tickets for Aretha Franklin (years ago) and wasn't at all enthused when her son came prancing out screaming about "son of a queen".

Did I read that correctly? That her other ‘new’ kids she got for attn also got stage time? Aren’t her concerts pretty expensive, even tho she’s like 70 & yesterday’s News? If they did make an appearance & if her concerts are still ridiculously priced, I would be completely butthurt about it. I don’t give a s**t about your kids, much less being forced to having to watch them perform after overpaying to just see you.

If a girl dressed and danced like this at school in the US she would probably face negative consequences, but at a Madonna concert its celebrated.

The kid has skills, but she is only 11. I think she's too young to dance provocative dances in front of so many people. But probably I'm old fashioned and don't get it.

I had no clue she'd apparently adopted a bunch of kids after her own were grown up.

How else is she supposed to stay relevant. I mean, obviously, it hasn’t had the desired effect, but it’s too late to change her mind. Here she is sucking her own d**k about how she’s her own role model cause no one can do what she can do via motherhood ** “There are no living role models for me,” she told Vogue in a 2019 interview. “Because nobody does what I do. And that’s kind of scary. …Being a single parent of six children, I continue to be creative and be an artist and be politically active, to have a voice, to do all the things that I do. So I mean, there isn’t anybody in my position.” ** https://www.maravipost.com/the-untold-truth-of-madonnas-many-children/?amp=1

I didn't see this as sexual at all until I came to the comments. She looked like she was having a fun time dancing and she was wearing a leotard that covered her entire body. You guys are the ones sexualizing a little girl and it's disgusting. It isn't like she can leave her butt at home or never bend at the waist or knees while dancing or try to look intentionally ugly so grown men don't get turned on. This is why women feel uncomfortable existing in their own bodies because everything they do is considered sexual even as a child too young to even fully understand what sex means. 11 year olds can't be provocative you gross human beings. I see that all the top comments are about saying that she was being too sexual but I stand by my opinion that she was just wearing fun performance clothes having a fun time dancing with her mom. I really try to be a positive and kind person, but you guys are just disgusting right now :(

"Performance clothes"? You make thigh-high leather boots sound like leggings and slippers. 11-year-olds can't be a sexual turn-on for most men, but they can dress "provocatively" in the sense that they can provoke outrage when they wear clothes designed to be worn in sexually provocative circumstances.

That's not dancing. That's flailing and falling. Don't like the outfit either.

Not sure what is so sexualized about this. She is pretty much completely covered and she is mostly flailing around. I don't see her grinding or her molesting herself with a foam finger (circa Miley Cyrus). yes, she is in a leotard but it covers more than the ones used for ballet. You all are sexualizing an 11 year old girl.
