Debi Mazar is getting to take a bow after joining her longtime friend Madonna on stage at the Queen of Pop's Celebration Tour stop in Milan over the weekend.

Mazar paid homage to the experience and her pal on Instagram on Monday. "10! 10! 10! How much FUN! @madonna," she wrote. "Thank you for your beautiful words & having me come play on stage for “Vogue." It was like old times!!"

She continued, "This show is special to me, as it shows a journey that spans all the incredible years of Madonna’s career and of so many collective moments in our combined lives…Decades of dance, music, creativity, travel, friendships, deaths, births, re-birth.. OMG Truly a Celebration!"

Mazar's post also included a sweet picture of the two backstage and footage from her appearance, during which the pals sat by each other on stage and held up score cards — 10s across the board — as scantily clad dancers sensually performed in front of them, and right up into their laps. Mazar concluded her note with shoutouts to Madonna's kids, dancers, crew, and Mazar's styling.

Mazar, who moved to Italy with her family during the pandemic, is not the only famous friend of Madonna's to pop up and "Vogue" during recent concert stops. Previous guests for the Celebration Tour have also included FKA Twigs, Donatella Versace, Julia Fox, Arca, and Diplo, among others.
