Madonna’s 1990 hit “Vogue”—which sold over six million copies worldwide and introduced New York ballroom culture to mainstream audiences—has become a template for queer-focused promotion. Echoing that legacy, she teamed with Sabrina Carpenter to debut “Bring Your Love” on April 30, marketed it on Grindr and performed it at Coachella on April 18, 2026, reinforcing the cross-generational, platform-driven strategy.
