During the Women's March, Madonna garnered controversy for her remarks, which included many profanities and talk of wanting to attack the White House.

"I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House, and I know this won't change anything. We cannot fall into despair," said Madonna.

For her part, the 58-year-old singer later explained in a statement posted to social media that her comments were taken out of context.

"I spoke in metaphor and I shared two ways of looking at things — one was to be hopeful, and one was to feel anger and outrage, which I have personally felt," stated Madonna.
