Siena, Italy — Madonna celebrated her 67th birthday in style this weekend, fulfilling a long-held dream to watch the Palio horse race in Siena. The iconic singer shared her special moment on Instagram, accompanied by her boyfriend Akeem Morris and her daughters, Mercy and Lourdes.

There are no words to describe the excitement, the suspense, and the Pageantry! A truly sacred ritual to witness thousands of people hushed to a silence before the race begins!”
