IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Sam Smith and Madonna announce collaboration

Madonna posted a picture to Instagram on Wednesday featuring both artists' initials, S&M, accompanied by the caption: The official announcement follows weeks of online hints from Sam. Earlier in May, the 31-year-old Unholy hitmaker - who uses they/them pronouns - teased the collaboration by sharing an audio clip across their social media, which featured the two artists repeatedly groaning their names, "Sam and Madonna". A few days later, Sam hinted towards a sneak preview of the collaboration during their live performance in Manchester on 24 May.
