The long-standing feud between Madonna and Elton John is officially over. The two music legends reunited backstage at 'Saturday Night Live', where John performed with Brandi Carlile. The singer shared a photo of the moment on Instagram with the caption: "We have finally buried the hatchet!!!" In the post, Madonna recalled the strong influence John's music had on her as a teenager. She remembered sneaking to one of his shows in Detroit, an experience that deeply influenced her understanding of the transformative power of music and helped her accept herself as an outsider. Madonna also spoke about the pain she felt from John's public criticism over the years. However, when they met backstage, John immediately apologized, and the tensions dissolved. "Forgiveness is a powerful tool," she wrote, adding that they embraced within minutes. The feud between Madonna and John began in 2004 at the Q Awards when John publicly insulted her: "Madonna, best live act? F**k off...Since when is lip-syncing live?" The tensions continued over the years, with John publicly criticizing her Super Bowl halftime performance and tour appearances. Madonna ended her post with a hint at a possible musical collaboration between the two. She shared that John had written a song for her and wanted to work with her, saying: "It was like the circle was closing!"
