Pop icons Kylie Minogue and Madonna have surprised fans, performing together for the first time with a duet to celebrate International Women’s Day.
The pop stars took to the stage at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, near Los Angeles, to sing Minogue’s hit song Can’t Get You Out Of My Head on Thursday evening as part of Madonna’s Celebration tour.

Wearing cowboy boots and a leather jacket, “Queen of Pop” Madonna performed dance movies beside the “Princess of Pop”, who was wearing leather-style pattern trousers and a black T-shirt.
They also sang Gloria Gaynor’s Grammy-winning track I Will Survive, about the end of a bad relationship which is seen as an LGBTQI anthem.
Writing on X, formerly Twitter, Minogue said it had been a long time coming.
She also shared a video of her dancing around through the crowd while wearing a T-shirt with “Madonna” written on the front.

The 55-year-old singer-songwriter, with nine No.1 albums, is the female solo artist with the third most UK chart-topping records following US singers Madonna and Taylor Swift.
She was recently honoured with a Brits global icon award.
Minogue and Madonna have both previously praised each other in the past despite being seen as rivals.
Madonna, 65, is performing the North American leg of her Celebration tour, featuring her greatest hits.
It was rescheduled last year due to the US singer’s stay in intensive care over a “serious bacterial infection” and kicked off in London in October at The O2.
Madonna is set to play the Kia Forum on Saturday and Monday before moving on to the Acrisure Arena in Palm Springs on Wednesday.
