goddess: center stage, performing her heart out, surrounded by thousands of her fans. « Golden » was an epic opener that just worked. It was smart, upbeat, and a perfect testimony to Kylie and her music. She immediately broke into her beyond incredible White Party Medley: « Spinning Around », « Wow », « Get Outta My Way », and « Can’t Get You Out of My Head ». It was a thrilling way to enjoy some of her biggest hits, and her vocals were stellar. There were several moments Kylie joined in on the dancing—including the trademark « Can’t Get You Outta My Head » robot moves—and it was a joy to see her enjoying what she does so much. A total surprise was performing a large portion of « Your Disco Needs You » : a song the crowd, this writer, and Kylie were wild for. She performed the first single off her new album, « Dancing », in its entirety, with her audience singing along— word for word. Her dancers performed the choreography from the music video, which was fun to see. Kylie joined
in her and there with a little bit of dancing, instead choosing to connect more with the crowd. In the end, she chose to give her Lovers/fans an appropriate treat by closing her show with « All the Lovers ». This version was stripped back and then explodes into the dance track that is her successful single from her Aphrodite album. Kylie sounded incredible, she looked like a million bucks, and the show itself was non-stop delight in one of the best performances I’d ever seen Kylie do. All in all, I was more than pleasantly pleased—but also, not surprised—that Kylie delivered such an epic performance with a jaw dropping lineup of her hits. The show was smart, fun, upbeat, and definitely one for the books. The images of the cool desert wind blowing Kylie’s hair and lacy white shear dress, against the backdrop of a full moon and mountain range in the distance at White Party Palm Springs 2018 will be memories that last a lifetime. Kylie Minogue made White Party GOLDEN.
