Just days after surprising audiences during the second weekend of Coachella 2026 with Sabrina Carpenter, tragedy struck Madonna's glam team.

The singer, 67, took to her social media page to share with her followers that soon after her performance, the archival pieces that she wore had gone missing.

"Still flying high since Friday night at Coachella!" she penned in a statement shared on her Instagram Stories. "Thank you to Sabrina and everyone who made it possible."

"Bringing Confessions II back to where it began was such a thrill," she gushed, referencing her performance of the tracks from her 2006 album Confessions on a Dance Floor at Coachella 20 years ago.

"This full circle moment hit different until I discovered that the vintage pieces that I wore went missing – my costume that was pulled from my personal archives – jacket, corset, dress and all other garments," Madonna wrote, underscoring it with: "These aren't just clothes, they are part of my history."

She noted also that other archival pieces from the same era are also currently missing, saying she's "hoping and praying some kind soul will find these items and reach out to my team," even noting that she's "offering a reward for their safe return."

Madonna concluded: "Thank you with all my heart," then including a picture of the outfits she wore, a hot pick bustier with matching lace undergarments and garters, plus a lilac laced corset with frill details and an accompanying navy blue jacket.

Sabrina introduced Madonna to the crowd with her signature "Juno" move, after performing the hit song and going: "Have you ever tried this?" which then transitioned into the opening notes of "Vogue," at which point Madonna came out.

The duo performed the 1990 number one smash and then duetted on "Like a Prayer." Sabrina features on a track from the upcoming Confessions on a Dance Floor sequel, which is set for a July 3 release, with the pair performing a snippet of their collab.

"Wow, thank you," Madonna said as she was inundated with rapturous applause. "Sabrina, thank you so much for inviting me on your show."

"Well, I have a few things I want to get off my chest," she told the crowd. "So, 20 years ago today I performed at Coachella. I was in the dance tent, and it was the first time I performed Confessions On The Dance Floor part one in America. It's a full circle moment, you know? Very meaningful for me."

"Let's try to be together," the "Take a Bow" hitmaker continued. "Let's try to avoid disagreements. And to that point, the great thing about music is that it brings people together. It's the one place that people have to put their differences aside, put their [expletive] down and just everybody have a good time together, right? So I am thrilled to be a part of that healing experience."
