Maybe that Snapchat original series was a bit of a misfire. But, you can’t go wrong with Madonna. Billboard reports that the Material Girl (do the kids still call her that?) will be premiering the first music video off her upcoming album, Rebel Heart on Snapchat today. The video for Living for Love will appear in the Discover section of the app. Snapchat has been branching out to be more than the app you use to send pictures of your nether regions. The service is hoping that its new Discover feature will convince users to stick around and watch videos…
