It’s a good morning to be a pop fan, let’s just say that.
During the latest stop on her ongoing Celebration Tour in California on Thursday night, Madonna brought out a special guest in fellow pop legend Kylie Minogue, with the pair performing together during the show.
Over the years, the two singers have always spoken fondly of one another, and have long been at the centre of calls to duet – which they finally did after decades of fan demands on Thursday night.
Fittingly, the pair covered Gloria Gaynor’s I Will Survive together, before leading the crowd in an acapella sing-a-long of Kylie’s signature hit Can’t Get You Out Of My Head.
Kylie even sported a t-shirt emblazoned with Madonna’s name for the occasion, returning the favour 24 years after the Like A Prayer singer wore a similar top at the MTV Europe Music Awards.
After their duet, Kylie posted a video of herself in the crowd at Madonna’s show, dancing to her performance of Ray Of Light.
“MADONNA. It’s been a long time coming!!! LOVED being with you!!!!” she wrote, pointing out their performance took place around International Women’s Day. “THANK YOU and LOVE LOVE LOVE.”
A decade ago, Kylie spoke to HuffPost UK about her hopes to team up with Madonna one day.
“That would be incredible!” she enthused. “It’s like maybe the world would stop mid orbit! Yeah, it would be incredible.
“I don’t know if it would ever happen. Maybe it’s something that will live in our imagination.”
Asked a similar question last year, Kylie hinted: “Of course I would [collaborate with Madonna]. She’s going on tour, you know…?”
Both hit-makers are currently riding an enormous wave of success, with Madonna receiving rave reviews for her Celebration Tour, and Kylie picking up both a Grammy win and Brit Award nomination off the back of her chart-topping album Tension.
