Madonna and Elton John appear to have ended their long-standing feud. The "Material Girl" singer shared details of their recent reconciliation on Instagram.

Madonna recounted attending Elton John's performance on "Saturday Night Live." She reminisced about seeing him perform live in Detroit during her high school years, an experience that profoundly impacted her. She described the performance as unforgettable and credited it with helping her understand the transformative power of music.

She explained that seeing John on stage as a teenager helped her embrace her individuality. She felt like an outsider growing up, and his performance showed her it was okay to be different.

Madonna admitted that she had been hurt by John's public criticism of her over the years. She didn't understand why someone she admired would express such dislike. She decided to confront him backstage at "SNL."

Their meeting began with John apologizing, which led to an immediate embrace. She described forgiveness as a powerful tool, and within minutes, they were hugging. John then revealed he had written a song for her and wanted to collaborate. Madonna concluded that everything had come full circle.

The feud between Madonna and John began in the early 2000s. John criticized Madonna's song for the James Bond film "Die Another Day." He later accused her of lip-syncing during an awards show. Their public disagreements continued for years. However, in 2023, John thanked Madonna for her work in the fight against AIDS.
