Video Release Details
On Monday, June 15 2026, Madonna (67) and Sabrina Carpenter (27) premiered the official music video for their collaborative single “Bring Your Love.” The glossy, retro-future club setting shows the duo navigating a packed dance floor, floating above the crowd, and ultimately performing back-to-back on a stage. The visual incorporates footage from Madonna’s 14-minute “Confessions II – The Film” and was released on YouTube as the final promotional push before the album Confessions II, slated for July 3 2026.
Background and Promotional Build-Up
“Bring Your Love” debuted as a single at the end of April 2026 and was first performed live during Carpenter’s headlining set at Coachella in April, where Madonna joined her for a surprise duet. In early June, Madonna unveiled a short film at the Tribeca Film Festival that stitched together the first six tracks of Confessions II, including “Bring Your Love.” Additional promotion has included a Grindr campaign, a pop-up club in Times Square, and a surprise show at The Abbey in West Hollywood, all designed to heighten anticipation for the July album release.
Key Participants and Cameos
The video credits a directing duo known as TORSO—identified in some outlets as “Torso” and in others as David Tori and Solomon Chase. Production was overseen by Madonna and longtime collaborator Stuart Price. Notable cameo appearances include actress Julia Garner (cast to portray Madonna in a stalled biopic), model Kate Moss, actor Benedict Cumberbatch, actor Richard E. Grant, DJ Honey Dijon, and Madonna’s daughter Lourdes Leon. The roster of high-profile figures underscores the cross-generational ambition of the project.
