Kylie Minogue, 55, joined Madonna on stage for a surprise duet during the Material Girls’, 65, Celebration tour at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on Thursday to celebrate International Women’s Day.
The Australian singer donned a tight-fitting T-shirt emblazoned with her fellow icon’s name in sequins as they performed a series of songs.
Kylie looked sensational in her onstage ensemble, which also included a pair of figure-hugging snakeskin pants.
The eternal duo smiled and hugged each other as they sang while Madonna played the guitar.
Kylie later shared a clip of herself among the audience on X (Twitter) and wrote: ‘Madonna It’s been a long time coming!!! It was a pleasure to be with you!!!! Celebration Tour and it’s International Women’s Day…. Thank you and Love, Love, Love.’
The surprise duets come after Kylie recently said she would jump at the chance to collaborate with Madonna.
The I Should Be So Lucky hitmaker says she is open to the idea and joked that they would have to give a lot of “warning” about the two icons being in the same building together.
Speaking to New York radio station 1035KTU, Kylie said of collaborating with Madonna: “I would. Of course! She’s going on tour. I don’t have Madonna’s number, but if I were on the city and she was in the city, it would be incredible. The building would probably fall. We would have to send out our warnings!’
Last year, Kylie wished Madonna well after she was rushed to the ICU due to a “bacterial infection” and caused her tour to be delayed.
The singer was taken to the ICU and had to be intubated, and later revealed that she was placed in a medically induced coma as she fought for her life despite suffering from lung and kidney failure.
Madonna revealed her ‘very special guest’ and then hugged the Padam Padam hitmaker to applause from the audience.
Madonna said: ‘Now, this is what we call survival. It is a privilege for me to be up here singing with you, God bless you, never give up.’
Madonna opted for denim elegance and dressed in a fringed leather jacket and a hat that she layered over lingerie.
The pair performed Can’t Get You Out Of My Head by Kylie and I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor.
Continuing with his condolences, he said, “I’m sorry for everyone on tour, but especially the women on tour.” I think it’s a bit more work for us and it’s very tiring for all of you.’
It comes after Madonna faced her mortality head-on during a moment of reflection at her first Celebration Tour show in Los Angeles.
The music icon paused her performance to remember her shocking health scare and “near-death” experience, with Madonna remaining defiant.
‘This show every night is not that hard on me physically. “It’s hard for me emotionally because I’m really telling you my life story,” she told the audience, according to just jared. ‘My heart is on my sleeve. I’ve fallen off many horses and broken many bones… but nothing can stop me.’
Madonna went on to reveal the first word she allegedly said after waking up from her four-day coma: ‘No!’
Kylie looked sensational in her onstage ensemble which also included a pair of figure-hugging snakeskin pants.

Kylie said of collaborating with Madonna: ‘I would do it. Of course!’
“I’m pretty sure it was God who said to me, ‘Do you want to come? Do you want to come with me?'” To which she replied, “No!”
The Into The Groove singer revealed that one of the doctors who treated her during her health scare was in the audience that night and recalled how he guided her through her difficult recovery period after she was discharged from the hospital.
‘I called every other day and asked (my doctor) why I didn’t have any energy and when was I going to get it back? When would I feel like myself again? When can I go on tour again? she remembered.
‘The only thing he said was, ‘Go out in the sun’… It was very difficult for me to walk from my house to the backyard and sit in the sun. “I know it sounds crazy, but it was hard,” she admitted. “It’s strange to finally not feel like I was in control, and that was my lesson… to let go.”
