Madonna Has Been Living In A “State Of Terror” Since Her Album Leaked, According To Madonna

Last week, several unfinished tracks from Madonna’s latest album were leaked onto the internet by someone or someones who just couldn’t wait ’till next year to hear the auto-tuned warbles of a perpetually-horny memaw. And according to Madonna, she’s been living in a “state of terror” ever since. Madonna tells The Guardian (in her best put-upon British accent, no doubt) that she doesn’t regret describing the leaking of her tracks as a form of terrorism and “artistic rape“, because those awful track-stealing tricks “violated” her when they released her new music without her permission:

“Obviously there is a person, or a group of people behind this that were essentially terrorising me. I don’t want to sound alarming, but certainly that’s how I felt. It’s one thing if someone comes into your house and steals a painting off your wall: that’s also a violation, but, your work, as an artist, that’s devastating.”

“I’m an artistic person, I’m very expressive. I’m sorry if words alarm people, but that’s what it felt like. It was not a consensual agreement. I did not say ‘hey, here’s my music, and it’s finished.’ It was theft.”

Madonna’s new album Rebel Heart wasn’t scheduled to be released until March, but since the hackers already ruined the surprise by leaking most of it, she went ahead and released six finished tracks to iTunes on Saturday, as well as the album art (seen above). Maybe that explains why she’s been living in a state of terror since the leaks; she was terrified her minions hadn’t finished Photoshopping the hell out of her face for the album art yet. “You fools! I barely look 29!”
