Monét X Change reveals how she & Madonna surprised Bob The Drag Queen on stage of The Celebration Tour
When they reached out to my managers about Tampa, I was like, “Yeah, that would work out—but only if they don’t tell Bob.” So, no one told him, and even Madonna was in on it.
Apparently in rehearsal, she was like, “No one ask Bob about the ‘Vogue’ guest!” So they had to sneak me around the venue. And then, at the point where they get to the runway, [Bob] kind of can see from the side who the guest is, so I even crouched down super low to make it a real surprise when I walked on stage.
And it was really lovely. Honestly, doing the show was obviously great, but surprising Bob was the best part of the night for sure.
He was so gagged.And I gave him the gig, all the way back from that “God Control” video, once upon a time. [Laughs.]Obviously, Madonna is such an icon, and it was really cool just to be a part of the show—a very, very small minute piece of it.
