Pop icons Madonna and Kylie Minogue duet on stage for International Women's Day
What a performance
When it comes to music royalty you can't get much bigger than Madonna and Kylie Minogue, and in celebration of International Women's Day, the pair united on stage to perform Kylie's hit 'Can't Get You Out of My Head', and a cover of Gloria Gaynor's 'I Will Survive', while Madonna played the guitar in front of the thousands watching.
Madonna was performing at the Kia Forum near Los Angeles as part of her 'Celebration' tour, and took to the stage wearing cowboy boots and a leather jacket, while Kylie had leather-style snake-skin patterned trousers and a black vest top, with Madonna's name written on it in silver.

Kylie also took to Instagram to share a video of herself watching Madonna on stage, while she danced amongst the crowd, to Madonna's 'Ray of Light', making her way towards the stage.
This performance marks the first time Madonna and Kylie have performed live together on stage, despite the pair both being in the music industry for many decades.
Kylie's outfit was reminiscent of the iconic top Madonna worn back in 2000 to perform at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Stockholm in Sweden, with Kylie's name written on it (shown on the last slide below).
Fans and celebrities couldn't believe the Queen and Princess of Pop had united on stage, with pop star Rita Ora writing: 'Icons only', and fashion designer Donatella Versace commenting: 'Two iconic superstars! Proud to call you my friends đź’–đź’–đź’–đź’–'.
Another fan wrote: 'QUEENS OF THE UNIVERSE!!'.
While Kylie Minogue recently picked up a Global Icon Award at this year's BRIT Awards, and was honoured with a Barbie on International Women's Day, Madonna will continue her the North American leg of her 'Celebration' tour after it was postponed from last year, due to her health scare.
You can hear songs by Kylie Minogue and Madonna on Greatest Hits Radio.
