TikTok tastemaker Lyas gained access to Madonna’s opulent $40M Upper East Side townhouse, which he toured alone while revealing personal items she wouldn’t want fans to see.
‘Guys, this is insane. I’m in Madonna’s house,’ the 25-year-old Frenchman announced Thursday to his 551K social media following.
‘You don’t believe me? Look at this.’
Lyas proceeded to dart in the dark from room to room of the 66-year-old Queen of Pop’s four-story, 26-room, triple-wide mansion that she bought in 2009 following her divorce from second ex-husband Guy Ritchie.
At the time, a former visitor revealed to the New York Post that you ‘can hear and feel the trains coming through’ the walls from the nearby, noisy Lexington Avenue subway.
‘This is giving coven,’ Lyas – who has no formal training – said of the living room.

The fashion commentator zeroed in on Madonna’s two Golden Globe Awards (for acting in Evita and singing in W.E.) and her 2008 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction trophy surrounded by books and photos of her children.
There was a framed photograph of the seven-time Grammy winner posing with former President Barack Obama and the handwritten inscription: ‘It was wonderful to meet you, looking forward to finding occasion to work together.’
Lyas showcased several works of art decorating Madonna’s Georgian-style abode including an extremely unflattering portrait sketched by her late boyfriend Jean-Michel Basquiat.
‘Oh wait! This is the Basquiat portrait of Madonna! Okay, this has never been shown before,’ the runway critic said of the piece featuring a 10lb dumbbell, a dog, and the phrase ‘not for sale.’
Basquiat must have been mad at the Material Girl when he did that drawing during their 1982-1983 romance, but she clearly finds it sentimental as she did with a framed photo of them in happier times.
‘He was an amazing man and deeply talented. I loved him,’ Madonna said on The Howard Stern Show in 2015.
‘When I broke up with him, he made me give all [his paintings] back to him. And then he painted over them black.’
The neo-expressionist painter died, age 27, in 1988 of a heroin overdose.
Elsewhere in the self-made superstar’s house was a small painting by her late friend Keith Haring as well as a b&w photograph of herself by famed lensman Steven Klein.

And while Lyas showed off the ornate private bar room, there was no footage of the 13 bedrooms, 14 bathrooms, 3K-square-foot garden, elevator, wine cellar with a grotto, and two-car garage.
The fashionista then zoomed in on a vintage typewriter with the ink-splattered page of her self-directed biopic Who’s That Girl co-written by Madonna and Erin Cressida Wilson.
Michigan-born Madge reunited with Julia Garner – who was set to play her in her in the shelved Universal film – at her 17th annual post-Oscars bash held at her manager Guy Oseary’s LA home on March 2.
Madonna previously helmed two dismally-reviewed box office bombs – Filth and Wisdom in 2008, and W.E. in 2011.
Lyas’ fully-authorized tour ended when he came upon the Italian-American diva lighting a cigar while relaxing inside her gorgeous glam room clad in the white Tom Ford tuxedo she donned at Monday’s Met Gala.
The pair proceeded to tour her elaborate walk-in closet and fawned over her vintage Alaia before Madonna claimed it’s ‘a must’ to be gay in order to work in fashion.
‘Those were the best. They’ll never be like that again,’ the twice-divorced mother-of-six recalled of the Paris runway shows in the nineties.
‘[Fashion] has changed a lot. I felt really special going to a fashion show. There were not so many photographers there. You could sit for a few minutes and not have your picture taken. [Jean Paul] Gaultier and [John] Galliano put on the most incredible shows. And Alexander McQueen!
‘John, like, does it all the way. He knows about literature and he knows about history and Gaultier the same things. I miss that deep dive into culture that used to be a big part of fashion shows. I don’t think people have a luxury to do that anymore. Some do, but it’s not the way it used to be. I miss those days.’
