The Queen of Pop started the night with "Bring Your Love" ... teaming up with Sabrina for a steamy and highly theatrical performance.
Sabrina strutted around in glittery shorts, a white top and black suspenders ... while Madonna commanded the stage in a black blazer with a red bodysuit underneath.

Then came another jolt -- Charli emerged in a black dress and fishnets, joining Madonna for "Danceteria Afterhours."
The track is a new spin on "Danceteria" from Madonna's latest album, "Confessions II" ... and the two turned it into one big dance-floor takeover.
For her first VMA performance in more than two decades, Madonna didn't come back alone ... she assembled a pop dream team.
