Madonna Launches Grindr Takeover With Exclusive ‘Confessions II’ Vinyl

The deal signals Grindr’s push to become a wider culture and commerce hub.

Overview

  • Madonna’s in‑app takeover, which went live Friday, adds a permanent tile in every Grindr user’s grid that plays her voice message and links to album content and preorders.
  • Grindr describes the campaign as its largest commercial activation and plans fresh drops and location‑aware moments across its Global Gayborhood in the coming weeks.
  • One limited release is a Grindr‑only picture‑disc vinyl of Confessions II, handpicked by Madonna and offered as a nonstop mix that blends tracks together.
  • The promotion builds on the April 17 debut of lead single I Feel So Free on SiriusXM’s Pride Radio and a Coachella cameo, ahead of the album’s July 3 release.
  • CEO George Arison says the rollout showcases Grindr’s ability to pair in‑app media with physical merch, a model meant to attract future brand partners beyond dating.
