Madonna's 10 Best Videos of the 2000s and 2010s
Madonna's had an extraordinary career making music videos, but her post-2000 oeuvre deserves more credit. Here's her 10 best from that era.

Did she stop and placate us with retreads of her old personae? Not even close: Madonna has spent the past 15 years reinventing herself with even greater rigor, moving between musical eras and styles with utter ease.
To celebrate Madonna's new album and her glorious music videos of the 2000s and 2010s, we're counting up the ten best clips she released in the past 15 years. Don your cowboy boots, American flag, leotard, and bull horns, because Madonna's post-'90s music videos have been a decadent and controversial celebration of femininity and ferocity.
