--- --- # Watch Madonna and Terrence Howard Get Post-Apocalyptic in 'Ghosttown' Music Video  by [Eliana Dockterman](https://time.com/author/eliana-dockterman/)  ## Eliana Dockterman Correspondent Apr 8, 2015 6:17 PM UTC  by [Eliana Dockterman](https://time.com/author/eliana-dockterman/)  ## Eliana Dockterman Correspondent Apr 8, 2015 6:17 PM UTC Howard has been honing his dancing skills all year on _Empire_, so it’s only fitting that he would join legendary diva Madonna in her newest music video for “Ghosttown.” The two explore a apocalyptic city in the video with Howard hunting Madonna down. Hackers leaked several unfinished songs fromMadonna’s newest album, _Rebel Heart_, in December, an act Madonna called “artistic rape” on Instagram. “I thought, ‘Oh my God, I have to push myself into overdrive,’” she [told](http://time.com/3723594/madonna-stays-in-vogue-rebel-heart/) TIME in February. “I didn’t sleep for weeks. I didn’t see my kids. It was pandemonium, confusion, paranoia, hysteria.” As a result, she’s taken a multi-platform approach to releasing her music and videos. Having already promoted her album and posted new material on Snapchat, Instagram and Grindr, Madonna premiered “Ghosttown” on the video broadcasting app Meerkat. Fortunately for fans, the video is now available on YouTube as well. ### Photos: See Madonna Over the Years  Madonna practices with the freshman cheerleaders at Adams High School in 1972 in Rochester, Mich.
