On Saturday night, Kylie – The Queen of Pop – delivered a note perfect performance at BST Hyde Park
On Saturday night, the UK’s adopted national treasure, Kylie arrived amidst an explosion of pyrotechnics for a joyful celebration of disco for a performance that spanned her 45-year career, delivering hit after hit in rapid succession, including “Come Into My World”, “In Your Eyes”, Get Outta My Way”, “Things We Do For Love”, “Confide In Me”, Red Blooded Woman”, “Slow”, “Better The Devil You Know”, “Hold On” and “Midnight Ride” filled the air as Kylie bounced between the main stage and her runway, a team of 16 dancers providing an extraordinary backdrop of dance moves in her wake.
It’s hard to believe that her career has spanned nearly fifty years, with the amount of boundless energy Kylie still infuses into her performances, moving between ‘Padam’ to ‘Locomotion’ and even taking requests from the crowd for a slew of acapella excerpts.
Doubtless, some of her bigger hits like ‘Spinning Around’ and ‘Can’t Get You Out Of My Head’ – with Brazilian superstar Anitta, one of Kylie’s support acts – were highlights, but she also performed hits from Tension that were deserving of notice.
Throughout the 90-minute performance, Kylie exhibited an incredible display of dance moves, outfits and energy – from red latex jumpsuits to a sleeveless golden gown and a black and white dress with white thigh-high boots and a glistening long black one-piece with magenta cloak.
The global pop icon brought the night to a close with an incredible encore – “One A Night Like This” leading neatly into her brand new single, “My Oh My” – where she was joined by her collaborating artists, Bebe Rexha and Tove Lo. “Hyde Park, we love you!” she exclaimed.”I’ve been waiting for this moment all night… It’s my dream, I’m finally in a girl band.”
