Madonna, the Weeknd and Playboi Carti stay the luxurious life within the new video for his or her collaboration “Well-liked.” The Cliqua-directed clip opens with a close-up for Madonna’s glittering grill, as she whispers, “I’ve seen the satan/ Down Sundown/ In each place/ In each face,” whereas the digital camera cuts to a shot of a lush hillside and the Weeknd (who now goes by his start title, Abel Tesfaye) sings from inside a large, art-dripping gilded mansion.
After flashing to Carti — carrying two Band-Aids on his cheeks a la rapper Nelly — spilling his crimson Solo cup drink close to a luxurious SUV, the scene cuts again to Madonna in a penthouse house, lolling on a sofa and pointing the digital camera with a cane. The trio inhabit their very own luxe areas, however by no means intersect within the visible shot in New York and Atlanta.

The 65-year-old singer then asserts, “I’m not. I’ve no age. I’m all ages. It’s not about who I’m, it’s about what number of I’m. Depend my achievements, not the variety of years I’ve lived on this planet.” In the meantime, clips of a few of her most iconic movies play over a symphonic, languorous model of her 1990 traditional “Vogue.”
“I’m all the time reinventing myself,” she says, staring straight into digital camera, her neck flooded with a cascade of pearls — a few of which she later spits out of her mouth — whereas photos of her many reboots and traditional video seems flicker by. “In order that I can hold being myself. I feel essentially the most controversial factor I’ve ever executed is to stay round. I’ve seen many stars seem and disappear, like taking pictures stars. However my mild won’t ever fade.”
