Madonna’s manager shares ‘special’ moment with Sabrina Carpenter at 2026 Coachella
Music manager Guy Oseary recently shared his thoughts on Madonna and Sabrina Carpenter’s performance at the 2026 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, calling it a “beautiful” and “really special” moment that was years in the making. Oseary, who has been managing Madonna for quite some time, was present at Coachella when the iconic Queen of Pop made a surprise appearance during Carpenter’s headlining set.
Reflecting on the night before, Oseary described the experience as filled with joy and love. The surprise performance was well-received by fans, with many taking to social media to praise the collaboration between Madonna and Carpenter. When asked about the possibility of the two artists releasing music together, Oseary remained somewhat secretive but confirmed that the unreleased song they performed at Coachella would be released soon.
During the set, Madonna and Carpenter teased a new song from Madonna’s upcoming Confessions II album, along with a rendition of Madonna’s 1989 hit, “Like a Prayer.” It was a nostalgic moment for Madonna, marking her return to the Coachella stage exactly 20 years after her debut performance at the festival in 2006. Oseary later shared a video on Instagram of the two artists performing together, calling it a “beautiful full-circle celebration.”
The partnership between Madonna and Carpenter had its roots in a chance encounter more than a year earlier at the SNL 50 anniversary party in February 2025. According to Oseary, Carpenter expressed her admiration for Madonna and later sang an impromptu cover of “Like a Virgin” at the party. This encounter laid the foundation for their eventual collaboration at Coachella.
Carpenter, 25, expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to share the stage with Madonna in an Instagram post following the second weekend of her headlining run at Coachella. She described the experience as a dream come true and a privilege she would never forget. Oseary also touched on the NFT market during the Breakthrough Prize event, expressing hope for a renaissance in the creative and innovative space.
Despite the ups and downs of the NFT market, Oseary remained optimistic about its future, emphasizing the importance of creativity and innovation in the space. He reflected on his initial excitement for the art and creativity surrounding NFTs and expressed his hope for a resurgence in the market. As Oseary looks forward to what lies ahead, he continues to embody a spirit of enthusiasm and optimism for the ever-evolving landscape of the music industry.
