During the conversation, Norton inquired about Madonna's touring plans for her upcoming album, Confessions II. Madonna confirmed promotional tours and teased "something bigger" for the following summer.

This exchange has fueled speculation about Madonna headlining Glastonbury 2027. Festival organizer Emily Eavis has previously expressed a desire for Madonna to perform at Glastonbury. In 2024, discussions reportedly fell through due to budget constraints related to Madonna's elaborate stage setup. (the-independent.com)
Adding to the intrigue, Kylie Minogue made a surprise appearance during the interview. Madonna admitted to past feelings of jealousy towards Minogue, leading to speculation about a potential collaboration between the two pop icons. (thesheffieldpress.com)
