The star’s fans and friends quickly flooded the comments section with heartfelt compliments and messages of congratulations. “Incredible night thank you!!” wrote one, while a second chimed in: “Great outfits!” and a third commented: “Goddess.”

Kylie will perform in Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney and Bangkok before heading to the UK to perform at multiple destinations. She will conclude her tour in Birmingham on 31 May.

In a statement about the tour, Kylie shared her enthusiasm, saying, “I am beyond excited to announce the Tension tour 2025. I can’t wait to share beautiful and wild moments with fans all over the world, celebrating the Tension era and more.

“It’s been an exhilarating ride so far, and now get ready for your close-up because I will be calling Lights, Camera, Action… and there will be a whole lot of Padaming.”

The legendary singer is renowned for her showstopping outfits both on and off the stage. In an interview with Marie Claire in 2018, Kylie explained that her fashion sense always changes depending on the situation.

“It depends what it’s for,” the star explained.

“It’s incredible how a piece can shine on stage when beforehand you’d look in the mirror and think ‘OMG, it’s too much!’

“If I’m going on a date, I will try and wear a mid-length slip dress and sharpen it with a jacket, something easy.”

She added: “I also love satin lace-up ankle boots with the toes out. But throughout the day, I’m so lazy! I’ll still wear jeans, trainers and a singlet or denim shirt with either a hat or a topknot.”
