The Queen of Pop also talked about the "scary things" she's seen during this concert tour, referring to incidents like when Russian punk group Pussy Riot was jailed for a political stunt at a concert.

These incidents "have made me realize how lucky I am to be living here in America," the singer said, adding to loud cheers "thank God for Michelle Obama and her good-looking husband too."
