Two weeks later, she showed off a slimmed-down photo with the caption: Look how cute I am now that my swelling from surgery has diminished. Madonna shared behind-the-scenes tour preparation footage with her Instagram followers six weeks after the award show drama. The singer showed off a much more natural appearance in the post, removing filters and fillers. During a rehearsal for a tour, Madonna looks very much like herself as she strums her guitar. Her reputation as a difficult boss has grown over the years, especially when she is on the road. She was completely unapologetic about this in a documentary about her 2016 Rebel Hearts Tour.
