It's like Prince suddenly speaking out in behalf of the ascetic life of the monastery. But whatever floats Madonna's boat. A lot of Jews probably think it's also a little odd of Madonna to study Kabbalah without first studying Torah (assuming she hasn't or isn't).

I suspect she doesn't know of Torah's existence.
