“I miss almost everything about the 1990s,” Minogue said, adding: “There were no phones, dance music was crazy and I was in it and amongst it, going to clubs, going to fashion shows, hitting the sidewalk, I was going to the markets.”

For Minogue, the absence of social media represented a form of “freedom” that allowed her to immerse herself in the moment without today's digital distractions. “I wasn't wasting time scrolling through socials or dealing with, like, adult life. So I miss a lot. All in all just freedom.”
