Madonna Performs Surprise Show in NYC for Hillary Clinton

WEST VILLAGE, NY — Madonna put on a surprise pop-up performance for Hillary Clinton in Washington Square Park on Monday night to a quickly gathering crowd of hundreds. It was her last-minute bid for the Democratic presidential candidate.

The superstar announced her performance on Twitter just about 15-30 minutes before she went on stage.

"Women are marginalized, let's face it," Madonna said to the crowd. "As far as I'm concerned we still live in an extremely chauvinistic, sexist, misogynist country, and that is why Hillary Clinton needs to be president!"

The iconic pop star was caught on video performing "Imagine" by John Lennon as the crowd sang along with her. People who were lucky enough to see the pop-up said she also performed hits like "Express Yourself," "Don't Tell Me," and "Like a Prayer."

And when she went on, people tweeted pictures and videos from the scene:
