Watch Madonna Cover Leonard Cohen’s 'Hallelujah' at 2018 Met Gala

A surprise elaborate performance with singers dressed as monks

Madonna covered Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” during a surprise performance at the 2018 Met Gala tonight. Watch snippets below, and check out professionally shot footage of the performance on Vogue. Surrounded by backup singers dressed as monks, she also did her hit single “Like a Prayer.” The songs were appropriate choices considering this year’s theme, “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination.”

Rihanna co-hosted the event with Anna Wintour. Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, Migos, 2 Chainz, Ariana Grande, and many more turned out—check out photos.

Madonna is set to direct the forthcoming biopic about ballerina Michaela DePrince, Taking Flight: From War Orphan to Star Ballerina.
