Prince serenades Madonna at late-night Paisley Park gig

While you were sleeping, this happened: Prince hosted Madonna at an overnight gathering at Paisley Park in Chanhassen, Minn.

The Current's Andrea Swensson was was one of the lucky few at the private concert. Here's how she described it in a blog post:

"There is a face that people make when they are watching Prince play guitar; it's a gleeful expression that combines the joy of going down a roller coaster with the realization that you are witnessing a moment that might never be recreated by another being that lives on this beautiful Earth. It turns out Madonna also makes that face when she is watching Prince play. As the band stretched out into another jam and Prince ripped into a soul-levitating guitar solo, her mouth relaxed into an awestruck gape, revealing a shiny gold grill underneath her perfect red lipstick.

Prince, too, seemed a little awestruck by Madge, appearing nervous as he flitted around the stage to different instruments and taking great care to get the lighting, sound, and chord changes just right. It completely shifted the energy at the Park, which usually pulls like a magnet toward Prince's spot in the room, and it was a rare chance to see two megastars share an intimate moment and a series of knowing smiles."

She told MPR News' Cathy Wurzer it was surreal to be in the same room with two people that regularly fill arenas.
