Kylie joined Madonna for a rendition of Gloria Gaynor's classic 'I Will Survive', timed perfectly for International Women's Day, and a rendition of Kylie's 2001 hit 'Can't Get You Out of My Head”.
For the thousands watching, the sight of Kylie and Madonna teaming up won't soon leave their minds, with plenty of shared images and videos of the special moment on social media.
And, for those pop fans with a long memory, Kylie paid the ultimate tribute to Madonna and her supporters by wearing a shirt bearing the icon's name, continuing a society of mutual appreciation that can be traced back decades. Indeed, Madonna wore a 'Kylie' branded shirt when she performed at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Stockholm, Sweden in 2000, with Kylie returning the favor.
Kylie got in on the social media action by sharing a video of herself dancing in the aisles to “Ray of Light,” the title track from Madonna's William Orbit-produced LP from 1998. She captioned it, “MADONNA. Go long time!!! I LOVE being with you!!!! Holiday tour AND now it's International Women's Day….THANK YOU and LOVE LOVE LOVE.”
Minogue is a wanted woman in the United States. On Wednesday, she was honored with the Icon Award at the Billboard Women in Music event, and her residence in Las Vegas, More than a residence exhibition at the Voltaire at the Venetian, has been extended until May. Earlier this year, the 55-year-old artist signed with United Talent Agency (UTA) for live representation in the US and Canada and acting roles around the world, and last week he received the BRITs Global Icon award at the 2024 BRIT Awards in London.
“Can't Get You Out Of My Head” is one of Kylie's two career top 10s on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching No. 7 in 2002 (the other being “The Loco-Motion”, reaching No. 3 in 1988).
Madonna kicked off a five-night stand at the Kia Forum in Inglewood on Monday, her LA leg Festive tour, a career retrospective of her successes, personal struggles, pop culture impact and lasting influence.
During the first night of her LA run, the 65-year-old superstar revealed that the severe bacterial infection she suffered in June 2023 – which led to her being hospitalized and the postponement of her current trek – at one point made it almost impossible for her to . to circulate. “This summer I had a surprise,” he told the crowd, clutching a cowboy hat in one hand and a guitar in the other. “It's called a near-death experience.”
