Pop legends Madonna and Kylie Minogue share stage for first time after 30 years

Pop icons Madonna and Kylie Minogue delighted fans and they joined forces for a rare performance three decades in the making.

The Like A Virgin hitmaker, 65, and the Loco-Motion star, 55, hit the stage together at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, near Los Angeles, California as part of Madonna’s ongoing Celebrations tour.

The duo – who have often been pitted as rivals – belted out a rendition of Neighbours star Kylie’s famous track Can’t Get You Out of My Head in a simply iconic performance.

Madonna, wearing cowboy boots and a leather jacket, danced alongside Kylie who matched her outfit with leather trousers and a sleek black T-shirt.

After the song ended, they then sang Gloria Gaynor’s legendary track I Will Survive, much to the delight of the crowd.

Taking to X following the show, Kylie heaped praise on the Material Girl singer – and what a way to kick off International Women’s Day.

‘Madonna It’s been a long time coming!!! Loved being with you!!!! Celebration Tour and it is now International Women’s Day …. Thank you and Love Love Love,’ she wrote.

She also shared a video of her dancing in the crowd while wearing a T-shirt with ‘Madonna’ on the front, a tribute to a top Madonna wore decades prior during a performance at the MTV Europe Music Awards which read ‘Kylie Minogue.’

Kylie began 2024 with a bang as she won her second Grammy Award – 20 years after bagging her first.

The Aussie pop queen joined the likes of Billie Eilish in being announced among the first music stars to win prizes at the 2024 Grammy Awards during the pre-telecast ceremony.

The I Should Be So Lucky singer-songwriter was honoured with the inaugural best pop dance recording for hit Padam Padam, which went viral last summer, and marks her second Grammy.

Vogue icon Madonna has finally hit the road with her Celebration tour after it was rescheduled last year when she was rushed to hospital with a bacterial infection, and placed in a coma.

She previously said it is a ‘miracle’ she is still alive, and thanked the friend who found her on the floor of her bathroom, and ‘dragged’ her for treatment.  

Madonna was reportedly found unresponsive last year after contracting a ‘serious bacterial infection’ – with her loved ones, including daughter Lourdes, sticking by her side.

She was admitted into intensive care and placed in a coma, with doctors unsure of whether she would ‘make it’.

Thankfully, the Like A Virgin musician was able to recover, and said that her children were the reason she ‘survived’ her ordeal.
