Last week, Madonna gave her song ‘This Used To Be My Playground’ its live debut.

The ballad was the theme tune for 1992 sports-comedy-drama A League of Their Own; Madonna starred in the film as “All The Way” Mae Mordabito. ‘This Used To Be My Playground’ went on to top the charts and receive a Golden Globe nomination for Best Original Song (but lost to Aladdin‘s ‘A Whole New World’).

Madonna has treated fans to its first live performance on her Celebration Tour at the United Centre in Chicago last week (February 2). The singer prefaced her performance by talking about her memories working on the film.

“I made a film called A League of Their Own, and I had to learn how to play baseball in this city,” she began. “I was here for months! I kinda sucked in the beginning, but I got good. I got good at it.”

Madge then asked the audience if they remembered the theme tune, and sang a few lines acapella to prompt people’s memories. The audience joined in quickly, with Madonna telling them: “Aww, bless you,” then joking: “I thought only 10 of you would know it. Turns out 20 of you knew it. I’m just kidding.” She then ended her speech by saying she had “very fond memories of this city.”

Meanwhile, Madonna is strongly rumoured to be headlining Glastonbury 2024 after festival boss Emily Eavis posted on social media from the opening of the ‘Celebration’ tour earlier this year.

Other rumoured headliners include Coldplay, Foo Fighters and Dua Lipa, while Eavis revealed back in March that Glastonbury had booked one of two planned female headliners.
