The comedian is opening for Madonna at New York City’s Madison Square Garden on Wednesday, Sep. 16, so naturally, she _had_ to post a video of her tiny childhood self rocking out to “Like a Prayer.” Behold: “I made it through the wilderness. Meet you at the Garden tonight @madonna,” Schumer wrote. She’s also opening for Madonna at her shows on the 17th and 19th. She originally announced this news back in June in [a tweet](https://twitter.com/amyschumer/status/611551935833903105 "undefined") that also included the vintage “Like a Prayer” video—but it’s obviously worth watching again. Schumer [told ](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/06/23/amy-schumer-madonna-shows "undefined")_Entertainment Weekly_ that Chris Rock called her up and said Madonna wanted her phone number. We’re not sure why Chris Rock played such a pivotal role in all of this, but before Schumer knew it, Madonna invited her to join her _Rebel Heart_ tour. “It’s not like a dream come true,” Schumer told the New York _Times_ in July. “This is a dream I didn’t even know I had.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4037069/amy-schumer-madonna-like-a-prayer-instagram/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4037069/amy-schumer-madonna-like-a-prayer-instagram/"},"headline":"Amy Schumer Prepares to Open for Madonna By Posting This Perfect Throwback Video","datePublished":"2015-09-16T20:20:09.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:24:47.254Z","description":"Watch a tiny Amy Schumer sing \"Like a Prayer\"","url":"https://time.com/4037069/amy-schumer-madonna-like-a-prayer-instagram/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrity"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4037069/amy-schumer-madonna-like-a-prayer-instagram/","name":"Amy Schumer Prepares to Open for Madonna By Posting This Perfect Throwback Video"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Madonna: I Found Out Through Instagram That I'd Been Hacked","description":"In a new interview, the queen of pop says her millions of Instagram followers lent her a hand — by letting her know that her music had leaked online","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/OvyRraBZ/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-02-26T12:44:08.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/OvyRraBZ.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4037069/amy-schumer-madonna-like-a-prayer-instagram/","duration":"PT1M23S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4037069/amy-schumer-madonna-like-a-prayer-instagram/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
