Madonna has welcomed her fair share of special guests on stage during her Celebration Greatest Hits tour. Most get up to sit alongside Madonna during the “Vogue” segment of the show and judge a ballroom contest.

However, at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, last night, a fellow legend joined the “Ray Of Light” singer on stage: None other than Australian superstar and fellow gay icon, Kylie Minogue.

Madonna, with a guitar strapped around her shoulders, told the audience she had a very special guest to bring up to the stage. When she informs them it’s Kylie Minogue, the auditorium erupts.

We suspect the gay screams could be heard as far away as Sydney.

Kylie wore a T-shirt with ‘Madonna’ written across it. This was a nod to the time Madonna wore a top with ‘Kylie Minogue’ across it at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Stockholm, Sweden back in 2000.

Once on stage, Madonna introduced Kylie as a “fighter” and “survivor”. They then performed an acoustic version of “I Will Survive” by Gloria Gaynor. To the further delight of fans, they then performed an acapella version of Kylie’s mega-hit, “Can’t Get You Out Of My Head”.

On Instagram, Kylie posted footage of herself at the concert and said, “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.”

On social media, one person quipped, “Homosexuals of a certain age should not be expected to work today. Not after Madonna and Kylie just performed together. We need time and space to process what just happened.”

The official X account for Grindr said, “Nothing tops these two.”

Madonna uploaded a high-quality video of the performance to her Instagram later yesterday.
