Madonna Is Just Doing Normal Summer Mom Stuff Before Embarking on World Tour

Labor Day approaches, and we can count the remaining days of summer (the social definition, not the lunar one, chill) on one hand. Everyone’s getting their fire pit nights and patio dinners on before pumpkin spice’s annual takeover—including Madonna. Oh, and it’s not just autumnal vibes that are coming for her, it’s an international tour. No biggie.

The pop icon, 65, took to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday to showcase a series of snaps of her end-of-summer fun, including a neon-bedecked backyard pool party. There is, of course, a guest appearance from a horse. It appears that Madge has been spending a good amount of time with her 11-year-old twins, Estere and Stella, and 17-year-old Mercy.

Madonna is set to embark on her 45-city Celebration World Tour in October with a string of shows in London. The start of the tour was postponed when in June the musician contracted a serious bacterial infection and was hospitalized, including a stint in the ICU. Earlier this month, she announced that she was recovered, and planned to reschedule the dates that had been interrupted by her health issues.

Madonna celebrated her 65th birthday on August 16, saying in an Instagram post last week marking the milestone that “It’s great to be Alive………… .. and Amazing to Be able to put on my dancing shoes and Celebrate my Birthday!”

Like any Normal Mom, it would appear from the post that she went to Lisbon to celebrate.

Now, who’s ready to get pumpkin spicy?
