Madonna explains why she ‘doesn’t want to be naked’

Madonna has explained why she “doesn’t want to be naked” in public anymore.

Madonna has explained why she “doesn’t want to be naked” anymore.

The 67-year-old music legend has turned heads with some risque clothing choices over the years but she admitted it is in her nature to be contrary and step away from trends so while it has become the norm for pop stars to wear skimpy outfits, she’s more driven to cover up as a result.

She told Interview magazine: “Now everyone’s naked. Now I don’t want to be naked because everyone’s naked. That’s my nature.

” I want to do what people are not doing, which is thinking and wearing clothes.”

The Hung Up hitmaker used to be “bothered” by people judging her, particularly because they never took the time to understand the messaging behind her “provocative” antics, but she’s ultimately realised many just don’t think very deeply.

She said: “It used to bother me a lot, because I was just like, ‘I can’t believe they’re so stupid. They don’t get it. They don’t understand.’

“I do a lot of provocative things, but there’s always a reason behind it and nobody bothers to investigate, which can make you want to give up on human beings.

“But you soon realise a lot of people don’t think critically. They don’t actually examine what they’re looking at, what they’re listening to.”

And Madonna thinks the judgement and lack of critical thinking is particularly prevelant when it comes to female artists.

She continued: ” They’re not tuned in to the subtleties and the layers of meanings that exist. And they certainly don’t do it when it comes from a female.

“Picasso was a total s*** to women and behaved badly and was a spoiled brat and all those things, but he was a brilliant painter.

“People looked past all that because he made great paintings. I’m not comparing myself to Picasso, but when a woman does it, it’s – now people are more open-minded about women doing provocative things.”

Meanwhile, Madonna revealed the cover of her upcoming new album, Confessions on a Dance Floor: Part II, features her wearing the same clothes she wore for the artwork for 2005’s Confessions on a Dance Floor.

She said: “I’m looking for the cover. It references Confessions I, and I wear a lot of the same clothes, the YSL boots and the jackets Gucci made for me in every colour.”
