Madonna will exclusively unveil the world premiere of her video and single Medellín with Maluma, during a globally televised MTV music event, MTV Presents Madonna Live & Exclusive: ‘Medellín’ Video World Premiere, on Wednesday, 24 April at 10pm CAT and 11 pm WAT.
Madonna will join British DJ Trevor Nelson and fans live from London for a conversation about the influences of her new album, and the creative forces behind her transcendent career.
Medellín collaborator and Global Latin Superstar Maluma will join live from Miami. Madonna will also take questions during the global event via satellite from MTV’s Sway Calloway and fans in New York City, with additional MTV-hosted events in Milan and São Paulo.
“Madonna and MTV have been intrinsically tied since their respective youths. As Madonna continues to rule the world, we’re thrilled to be with her once again live from our Camden studios to world premiere her incredible collaboration with Maluma, Medellín,” said Bruce Gillmer, global head of music and talent, Viacom, and co-brand head, MTV International.
The 30-minute special will debut live across MTV’s digital platforms and linear channels in nearly 180 countries.
Madonna and MTV have shared a history starting with the early premieres of the pop superstar’s boundary-pushing music videos. Madonna has been honoured with 24 MTV awards between the MTV Video Music Awards and the MTV EMAs. Additionally, it was at the inaugural VMAs where the pop icon graced the stage in a wedding dress to perform, Like a Virgin, in her first major award show performance.
