Madonna insists she didn't deliberately moon the cameras at the Grammy Awards but had an "inspired wardrobe malfunction".
Madonna flashed her derriere to the cameras on the red carpet at the Grammy Awards on Sunday (08.02.15) but insists it wasn't a deliberate move to be provocative, but an "inspired wardrobe malfunction".
She said: "I had an inspired wardrobe malfunction moment.
"As I was walking away, I wasn't mooning - I just lifted my dress up. Mooning is like naked butt.
"Everyone's seen my naked butt already. Not for a while, not since the '90s."
The 'Like a Virgin' hitmaker - who donned a Givenchy leather bodice, gloves and thigh-high boots for the ceremony - insisted she was just "having fun" and making the most of the current "age of ass".
She told KIIS-FM radio host Ryan Seacrest: "It's the age of ass, isn't it? It was me having fun and being cheeky, no pun intended."
During the awards show, Madonna gave a raunchy performance of 'Living For Love' and though it seemed to run smoothly, she admitted an essential part of the choreography was forgotten.
She explained: "The one thing everyone forgot to do,was tell me when I could sit up [in the harness]. So, I'm laying back there, like forever in this super extreme back bend, hanging over the audience.
"I was like 'Can I sit up now? Is the camera off of me? No one said, 'M you can sit up now' in my ears. It was the one moment everyone overlooked. Eventually, I sat up and was like 'Screw this, my back is killing me.' "
