Madonna and Geena Davis Reunite at Coachella With ‘A League of Their Own’ Nod

The backstage photo confirms a nostalgia play tied to Madonna’s new song.

Overview

  • Geena Davis shared a backstage Instagram photo of herself with Madonna in baseball uniforms, confirming their in-costume reunion that echoes their 1992 film roles as Dottie Hinson and Mae Mordabito.
  • Both stars made surprise cameos during Sabrina Carpenter’s weekend two headlining set on Friday at Coachella, where the production framed the show as a Hollywood-style stage piece called Sabrinawood.
  • Madonna performed her hits Vogue and Like a Prayer with Carpenter and released I Feel So Free the same day, which serves as the first preview of her upcoming Confessions II album.
  • Davis appeared in a prerecorded monologue as an older version of Carpenter’s stage persona at a drive-in scene, while Madonna later thanked Carpenter on Instagram and wrote that she was still flying high from the night.
  • The reunion arrives 34 years after A League of Their Own premiered, and it follows weekend one’s older-Sabrina cameo by Susan Sarandon, underscoring Coachella’s recent run of theatrical sets with headline-grabbing guest stars.
