Madonna BANS photographers from taking her pic at VMAs in latest diva move after bizarre night
MADONNA banned professional photographers from taking her picture during the Video Music Awards on Sunday night.
Multiple sources told The U.S. Sun that the snappers were issued very strict orders not to take a single pic of the Queen of Pop, 68, despite her making multiple appearances on stage throughout the night.
Madonna also skipped the VMAs red carpet entirely, when even superstar Taylor Swift willingly posed for photos.
“Photographers in the room were told they weren’t allowed to shoot Madonna,” a source explained.
“Only a couple of CBS photographers were given permission.
“She wanted to control the photos and approve what did and didn’t go out.”
The star was obviously visible in the main feed from the show, but very few high-resolution pictures were distributed to the media and fans throughout the night.
The U.S. Sun has reached out to Madonna for comment.
Madonna had a tumultuous night with her various antics throughout the annual awards ceremony.
She first sparked concern during her kick-off performance by appearing to grimace as fellow dancers threw her body onto a platform.

While many viewers thought her reaction was part of the dance, others thought she could be in pain.
Later on in the show, she appeared to wear a knee brace.
And during her speech for Best Dance performance, Madonna told a joke about holding a laser inside her butt.
Though she was referring to a scene from her Confessions II music video, the bit didn’t land with the audience.
Despite the mixed reviews to her performance and speeches, Madonna took home seven awards total at the show.
She later seemed to be feeling no pain while partying in her hotel suite with pals Charli xcx and Julia Garner.
The trio rolled around dancing in bed to her new song Danceteria in a TikTok posted in the wee hours of the morning.
