Madonna Odds: Sabrina Carpenter Tipped To Join Next Global Tour
Madonna has been back in the news lately after confirming her Confessions On A Dance Floor: Part II album is on the way soon.
The news has whipped the Queen of Pop's super-fans into a frenzy, and there is now plenty of speculation on betting sites about a subsequent tour, and who might guest star on it.
Madonna's longtime manager Guy Oseary added fuel to the fire recently, by hinting the Vogue hitmaker will be back on the road at some point.
He wrote on Instagram: "Of course she will tour again. She wants to share her music with her fans. Not sure yet on the plans. Stay tuned."
Bring Sabrina
Madonna fans are being kept in the dark about the star's upcoming new album, which will drop on July 3.
But one thing they do know is it will feature her collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter, Bring Your Love.
As a result, Sabrina is just 1/4 favourite on betting apps to guest star on Madonna's next global world tour.
The pair even shared the stage recently at Coachella.
Madonna made a shock appearance at Sabrina's headline set, during which they performed their brand-new song, as well as a duet of Madonna's huge 80s hit Like A Prayer, and her 1990 song Vogue.
Madonna Odds: Next Global Tour Guest Stars
Artist | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
Sabrina Carpenter | 1/4 | 80% |
Zara Larsson | 8/13 | 61.9% |
Julia Garner | Evens | 50% |
Dakota Johnson | 11/10 | 47.6% |
Karol G | 6/4 | 40% |
Christina Aguilera | 2/1 | 33.3% |
Kylie Minogue | 3/1 | 25% |
Tom Jones | 4/1 | 20% |
Britney Spears | 5/1 | 16.7% |
Drake | 6/1 | 14.3% |
Shirley Manson | 8/1 | 11.1% |
Boy George | 100/1 | 1% |
Sabrina is likely to be first on the list when Madonna is drawing up guest star names for a worldwide tour.
Their Coachella collaboration will go down in history, but Madonna has shared the stage with several big names over the years.
One of her most famous on-stage performances came at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) when she kissed both Britney Spears and then Christina Aguilera while performing Hollywood.
It's just 2/1 that Madonna invites Christina back on stage to guest star on her next global tour, and Britney - who is currently taking some time out of the spotlight - is a 5/1 chance.
"Madonna looks highly likely to follow up her new album with a tour, and Sabrina Carpenter is a shoo-in to join her on stage for another collaboration. Everyone wants to see more after their Coachella collab, but it would also be a masterstroke for Madonna to bring Julia Garner on the road with her. Julia is apparently playing the Queen of Pop in a biopic, so it would be a rewarding experience for the actress. Like A Prayer star Madonna could even put faith in CHVRCHES frontwoman Lauren Mayberry to support her at a UK show. She could do a lot worse."
Guest Star Garner
Another Madonna project that has long been talked about is a biopic.
Ozark star Julia Garner is expected to play the star, and speculation intensified recently when Garner and Madonna were spotted shooting scenes for the second season of Seth Rogen's show The Studio.
If a Madonna biopic is back on track, then it would make sense for the pop megastar to invite Garner, who is priced at Evens, on stage for some of her next world tour gigs.
Julia isn't Madonna's only actress pal, though.
The Material Girl hitmaker is "weird friends" with Fifty Shades of Grey star Dakota Johnson.
Last year, Dakota told E! News: "I really love her. We've been, like, weird friends for a while."
The pair met when Madonna appeared in 1996 movie Evita alongside Dakota's Hollywood actor stepfather Antonio Banderas.
She added: "I met her when I was really young, because she did a movie with my stepfather, and then I got to know her later because we were gonna work together on something."
While that collaboration never materialised, it's just 11/10 that Dakota guest stars at Madonna's next global tour.
There has also been speculation that Madonna and Karol G might duet one day, and the Queen of Pop could have even put the feelers out at Coachella, where Karol G headlined.
Karol G is 6/4 to appear on Madonna's next tour, but Boy George is a huge longshot.
He once described Madonna as a "vile, hideous human being with no redeeming qualities", but now regrets the comment.
Speaking on The Jonathan Ross Show in 2021, he said: "It's not something I would say now… it's really just, I'm actually a bit embarrassed I said that."
However, at 100/1, he's unlikely to get the call to perform on Madonna's next global tour.

Madonna's Faith In Lauren
It's not yet known where Madonna might play on her next run of gigs, but somewhere in the UK is a likely destination.
She played four dates in London last time out on The Celebration Tour, which ran from 2023 to 2024.
One of Madonna's most successful songs is Like A Prayer, so it wouldn't be a surprise if Madonna headed to CHVRCHES to find a support act for the UK part of her tour.
Scottish singer Lauren Mayberry is 11/10 favourite to land one of the coveted support slots, and Little Mix star Jade Thirlwall isn't far behind at 5/4.
Madonna Odds: Next UK Tour Support Acts
Artist | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
Lauren Mayberry | 11/10 | 47.6% |
Jade Thirlwall | 5/4 | 44.4% |
CMAT | 11/8 | 42.1% |
Diplo | 6/4 | 40% |
Rita Ora | 2/1 | 33.3% |
Lyra | 3/1 | 25% |
Sugababes | 4/1 | 20% |
Imelda May | 5/1 | 16.7% |
Emeli Sande | 6/1 | 14.3% |
Nina Nesbitt | 8/1 | 11.1% |
Mayberry even covered Madonna's Like A Prayer when she played her first-ever show as a solo artist, in Washington DC in September 2023, so it looks meant to be.
Other stars who could be in contention include Irish singers CMAT (11/8) and Lyra (3/1), as well as Dublin-born Imelda May (5/1).
DJ and music producer Diplo could also be in the running, and it wouldn't be his first time opening for Madonna.
He did so on The Celebration Tour in both London and Rio de Janeiro.
British singer Emeli Sande (6/1) - who was raised in Scotland - and Scot Nina Nesbitt (8/1) are outsiders.
