Beyoncé sent Madonna a reverent note of gratitude -- plus a striking bouquet -- days after the release of their collaboration on a new version of "Break My Soul," which weaves in "Vogue." At the time of its release in 1990, "Vogue" marked one of the first mainstream pop culture works to spotlight elements from the queer, Black and Latino-led ballroom scene.
"Thank you, Queen," Beyoncé's note read, according to an Instagram story Madonna shared on Tuesday. "I'm so grateful for you. You have opened so many doors for so many women. You are masterpiece genius." ("Masterpiece genius" is a lyric from the third track of "Renaissance," the immediately beloved "Alien Superstar.")
