Pop superstar Madonna has been taking advantage of her time indoors by doing what she does best: singing! She shared a video of herself performing a fun rendition of her iconic song “Vogue” with lyrics that reflect the time and using a hairbrush as a microphone, just like the rest of us! She captioned the video: “Living in special times…it’s 3 am — cut me some slack people.”

She also reminded fans of how serious the matter is: “This is the time to cancel plans, actually truly isolate as much as you can and don’t assume that because you don’t feel sick that you aren’t possibly passing something on to someone elderly or vulnerable to this. It’s a really scary time, but we need to make sacrifices right now.”

Ariana Grande has not been shy about being disappointed with people who are not following the guidelines. She said to her fans on Instagram: “I keep hearing from a surprising amount of people, statements like, ‘This isn’t a big deal’…and it’s really blowing my mind. I understand if that is how u felt weeks ago. But please read about what’s going on. Please don’t turn a blind eye. It is incredibly dangerous and selfish to take this situation lightly. The ‘we will be fine because we’re young’ mindset is putting people who aren’t young and/or healthy in a lot of danger. You sound stupid and privileged and you need to care more about others. Like now.”
