Madonna kicked off her world tour in Israel last night (31.05.12).

The 53-year-old singer started her 'MDNA' tour with an amazing and stunning show at the Ramat Gan Stadium in Tel Aviv.

She played a variety of songs from her year three-decade career including classics such as 'Like a Virgin' and 'Vogue' as well as tracks from her latest album 'MDNA'.

She also took a swipe at Lady GaGa, who was recently accused of copying her song 'Express Yourself' for her own hit 'Born This Way'.

She told the cheering audience, ''She's not me!'', at the end of a performance of 'Express Yourself', which she had reworked to include a sampling of 'Born This Way'.

She also wished peace on The Middle East, by yelling to the sold-out audience: ''I chose to start my world tour in Israel for a very specific and important reason. As you know, the Middle East and all the conflicts that have been occurring here for thousands of years - they have to stop.''

Her costumes were made by Jean Paul Gaultier, Jeremy Scott, Dolce & Gabbana, Alexander Wang and J Brand.

She will next perform in Abu Dhabi on Sunday (03.06.12).
