It is hard to believe anyone was ever a snob about Kylie. To stand in the screaming crowds (possibly the loudest I have ever heard) at Perth’s RAC Arena, on the first stop on what will be her biggest world tour in two decades, is a reminder of what a genius of reinvention she is. This is a show stuffed with preposterously catchy hit after preposterously catchy hit – “from, you name it, almost any decade,” Minogue herself says, before letting out that endearingly goofy laugh.
Two decades ago, she said she would never be the queen of pop, as that title went to Madonna – “I’m the princess. I’m quite happy with that”. But, surely, two monarchs can come to some kind of peaceful agreement?
