 According to Taraborrelli , " Many female artists behave like a diva for a period when they reach superstar status , and the ' Who 's That Girl ? ' tour marked the beginning of Madonna 's . " For instance , she would not allow crew members to talk directly to her ; they had to talk to her representatives , lest they distract her from the business at hand . She also forbade her dancers from speaking to her and her musicians were not permitted to even look at her unless they were onstage with her . Moreover , when coming on and off the stage , Madonna demanded that road managers hold sheets around her in order to shield her from the eyes of " those who couldn 't help but stare " . DeMann commented : " She has a way of demanding that compels you to give her your undivided attention " , to which Taraborrelli felt that such behavior actually was an indication of how successful and strong Madonna was . " You don 't behave like a bitch until you are that successful . The tour sure helped cement her star status " , he commented .
