Kylie Minogue\u2019s big comeback is on, and the 55-year-old is better than ever. <\/p>\n
In a year that sees Taylor Swift, Beyonce and Madonna on tour, we now have the Australian pop sensation releasing new music, so it really is the year of queens.<\/p>\n
Just like her era-defining banger Padam Padam, our hearts are racing for the highest-selling female Australian artist of all time as she hits headlines and tops charts once more. <\/p>\n
Following the success of her single Padam Padam \u2013 which almost made it into the Oxford English Dictionary and got a shout out in the House of Common due to its icon status \u2013 Kylie has now graced us with Tension, the second single from her 16th studio album of the same name. <\/p>\n
Having sold over 80 million records worldwide with her throwback tunes such as Can\u2019t Get You Outta My Head and Spinning Around, the Neighbours star has nothing to prove \u2013 but she\u2019s going to do it anyway. <\/p>\n
That\u2019s something Kylie chatted about in her cover star interview with Rolling Stone UK, in which she looks totally fierce, of course. <\/p>\n

\u2018Sometimes [a long break] crosses my mind, but it\u2019s fairly fleeting,\u2019 she star said. <\/p>\n
\u2018There\u2019s a song that hasn\u2019t been written yet. Padam Padam didn\u2019t exist a year ago.<\/p>\n
\u2018I guess the ultimate seduction or challenge is to create that three and a half minutes of transformative magic. <\/p>\n
\u2018You want to try and keep getting that high [of] affecting someone positively,\u2019 she added.<\/p>\n
The iconic cover sees the All The Lovers hitmaker strike a dangerous pose with bright crimson hair, blue eyes, and a raven-like feathered black top. <\/p>\n
She also chatted about trying to keep her family life private throughout the years, which she said wasn\u2019t a decision, but a necessary reaction. <\/p>\n
\u2018It wasn\u2019t a decision [to stay private],\u2019 she said. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u2018It was a reaction to protect myself and to protect my family because they would go through it with you.\u2019 <\/p>\n
One of Kylie\u2019s biggest moments was undoubtedly playing the Legends Slot at Glastonbury Festival in 2019, this year taken by Wild World singer Cat Stevens\/Yusuf. <\/p>\n
Kylie explainedit is a \u2018huge deal\u2019 for her to admit she deserved to be there. <\/p>\n
\u2018I don\u2019t know that everyone knows the extent of what it\u2019s taken for me to keep doing this,\u2019 she said. <\/p>\n
\u2018That respect is there. It\u2019s taken its good old time. I feel a lot more peaceful than I did a while ago. It doesn\u2019t change my drive and determination.\u2019 <\/p>\n
We\u2019re all listening, Kylie. Padam, Padam. <\/p>\n
