Kylie verdict
My mum said it rocked.
My fiancée said it was fun and elaborate.
Target demographic enjoyed, now let’s get to the footy.
Penny for V’landys’ thoughts?
The NRL has no pre-game entertainment for their grand final next, FYI.
Kylie takes to the AIR
Looking stunning in a white glittery gown and sleek Versace black sunnies, Kylie is floating high above the crowd over a giant orange footy for Can’t Get You Out of My Head - which honestly looks pretty scary! The fishnets look epic, though.
Kylie Minogue floats above the ’G. Seven
Kylie! Seven
Kylie’s back-up dancers the real MVPs in the wet
Locomotion!
Let's do the Locomotion!
The Inspired Unemployed are here!
OK, the vibes are good - everyone is fanning out across the G having a boogie.
Toot toot. Locomotion. Seven
Kylie brings out William Barton!
Wearing a gold jacket, she brings out guitarist William Barton to perform Confide in Me, capping it off as pyrotechnics light up the stage. Was a very quick number!
Kylie’s now performing with G-Flip!
Kylie playing her biggest hits
She opens the show with Love at First Sight, surrounded by shiny, blue, alien-like characters. She’s wearing a draped skirt paired with a t-shirt printed with her own face.
It seems she’s trying to get more of the crowd to sing along!
Up next is Spinning Around! She made a quick outfit change into a gorgeous LBD adorned with “2026” in gold, styled with fishnet tights and killer boots. Her backup dancers look unreal!

But can’t let her get wet on the way out!
Mike Brady time - this is more like it
Mike Brady is up now! Up there Cazaly!
Wouldn’t be the grand final without the legend.
He serenades the retirees as they make their way around the ’G.
