In an interview with host Graham Norton, Madonna confessed that she had been jealous of pop singer Kylie Minogue in the past. She said this after Minogue appeared as a bartender in the hour-long interview, serving grapefruit cocktails.
Twenty-six years ago, Madonna wore a rhinestone-studded tank top with the words “Kylie Minogue” at the Europe Music Awards in Sweden — a gesture of connection that apparently surprised Minogue. The Australian pop star said in the interview scene that she almost fainted when she saw Madonna’s outfit.
Madonna admitted that she was actually a bit envious of Minogue at the time. She said she believed her ex-husband Guy Ritchie had a bit of a crush on Kylie Minogue. She thought: “I will never be as beautiful as Kylie.”
Madonna is currently on a promotional tour for her new studio album “Confessions II.” The album is set for release on July 3, 2026, and is intended to look back at her beginnings in 1980s New York. It also includes a duet with her daughter Lola, which deals with tensions in their relationship. Another track, “Fragile,” is dedicated to her brother Christopher, who died of cancer in 2024.
