Madonna has taken inspiration from Katy Perry by posing naked on social media in order to encourage American citizens to vote in the forthcoming presidential election.
The singer, 58, shared a topless selfie on her Instagram and Twitter pages one day after Katy appeared in the nude in a viral video as she attempted to “change the world”.

While Katy attempted to boost the number of people registering to vote in the election – which will see Republican candidate Donald Trump go up against the Democratic Party’s Hillary Clinton – Madonna used her posts to back one person in particular.
Along with her photograph, she wrote: “Im voting naked with Katy Perry!! Vote for Hillary. She’s the Best we got! Nude Voting series # 1 (sic).”

This followed another social media post in which the Material Girl singer appeared on stage with Clinton.
She wrote: “Living For Hillary. Yes I vote for intelligence. I vote for equal rights for women and all minorities.
“Women Run the World now they have to get out and start supporting one another. No more misogynist feminists! No more mysogony. Get out and Vote (sic).”

Katy, who is also a prominent supporter of Clinton, kick-started the unofficial naked movement with her video, posted on comedy website Funny Or Die on Tuesday.
The 31-year-old music star explained that she wanted to use her body as “click bait” in order to get people to polls ahead of the election on November 8.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
