Madonna Reveals She Used ‘Witchcraft’ To Try And Make Producer Dallas Austin Fall In Love With Her

During her Celebration Tour in Atlanta, Madonna named the producer she was enamored with in 1994 when she recorded her album Bedtime Stories.

In between her songs, Madonna, 65, gave audiences a peek into her past romances. The singer claimed she was “madly in love with him” despite him treating her like “s—.” One fan posted a video of the confession to X, captioned, “Madonna spilling hot tea.”

“I’m just saying, you did, you dogged me, bro,” Madonna said. “It’s ok, I understand. You were just a boy. But I hope you’ve grown up by now.”

“I am publicly shaming you,” she continued. “Did I say your name yet? His name is Dallas Austin.“

At the time, Madonna was 35, and Austin was 23. Austin is known for producing hit songs such as “The Boy is Mine” by Brandy and Monica and “Creep” by TLC.

Madonna continued to tell the audience how obsessed she was with Austin to the point of performing witchcraft. 

“I am telling you, I was so in love with him that I had this house in Miami, and I studied with this Santeria. She did all kinds of spells on [Austin] to make [him] fall in love with me.”

Though the singer said none worked, she said recording Bedtime Stories was a “magical experience.”

Madonna is trying to get a lawsuit dismissed against her for starting her New York City concert two hours late in January. The singer has also been criticized for questioning a fan for sitting during her concert. Madonna was unaware that the fan was paralyzed and using a wheelchair.
