Madonna, 56, SITS DOWN during performance (after her Brits tumble) as she wears matching stockings onstage with her guitarist Taylor Swift, 25

Madonna donned an eccentric costume for her musical gig dressing in a leather corset over a white collared dress shirt and lace and satin camisole. She styled her look with her trademark gloves and accessorized with fishnet stockings and knee-high leather boots. Meanwhile Madge may have met her style match when she was accompanied by Taylor who was dressed in a similar getup also wearing a black corset, stockings and knee-high boots. The country-pop crossover artist showcased her toned frame in a sleeveless black dress which featured a thigh high slit on the front.
   

She's known for her electric dance-filled performances at award shows, but this time Madonna opted for a small band instead of her usual backup dancers. The Rebel Heart artist kicked off her portion of the show sitting on a stool with a single spotlight on her. The first half of her performance she was seated but she preceded to safely rise to her feet to sing the ballad. Madonna even got down on her knees for an added emotional touch.
