Kylie Minogue Has Entered The Chat

got a VIP ticket or something. I don't know. We'll get there soon, but let's talk about because there's been a lot of questions which I haven't been answering online just while the tour has been going, because I've won had to pump out so much content, I mean, every single day. Let me take you through each and every day of Are you happy for me to just like talk for five minutes?

into this, the ten shows are done. Ten shows. The attention to it for Kylea Minoa, She's my favorite artist, you know the story. I've taken you on the journey here on the podcast and across my socials. Every single day has been such a journey. I wake up, I shave my face and whatever other parts of my body need to be shaved. I do my makeup. I do a while I do my makeup, I do a TikTok live, so I go live for like two hours while I'm doing my makeup because obviously when you're life it takes

a lot longer. I could probably smash my makeup out in about forty five minutes if I wasn't talking, reading comments, answering questions, blah blah blah. Then once that's done, I have to do the video where it's like get ready with me and put the outfit together and I kind of explain the outfit. Then I do the photo shoot. Then I do the the real slash TikTok fit check thing. Then I have to edit the photos. I don't usually edit my photos or face tune or any of that.

Like I've been a face tune free account for oh many years now, since I want to say, like the pandemic like twenty twenty vibes, but I thought, you know, we're doing digitcam photos. They're not just iPhone photos. We're doing a full kind of little photo shoot in the hotel or wherever I can do it. So I was like, oh, I might want to just you know, remove that pimple and smooth out that bit of my skin and things. I just thought, just elevate the look a little bit,

change the filters. And I never put any filters on my photos. The most I'll do is like change the brightness if it just needs to be up or down a little bit. But you know, I was putting a few filters on blah blah blah. So we're doing all And I disclosed that in all the posts as well, and said like, disclaimer, these photos have been edited in some way to enhance the look. But god, that's a lot of time and effort. And I am so glad I am not that person anymore because I can't be

bothered anyway. Edit all those and then edit the fit check and then post all of that. I got to write the caption, find the reference photos and videos as well, do the post all the rest of that, share that to the story. Then during that time, by the way, I actually get undressed. I got undressed the whole time.

So I got dressed, did it all, and then got out of my outfit, sat in bed in a dressing gown, did all the content, I edited all the content, got back into my outfit, went to the concert, got home. Then I had to edit the put the Look Together with Me video because they're a bit longer, so they take a bit longer. Then the next morning I have to wake up, post the fit check on the Instagram, then post the get Ready with Me on both the platforms. I'm not even kidding. This has been more work than

I've ever done in my entire life. And have I enjoyed myself. Absolutely, It's been life changing and I've loved every second and I love Kylie Minogue. It's been worth it. Would I ever do this again? Fuck? No, I am. I am a shelle of a human being. I am not coping and I need to have I need a health retreat. I feel. I don't know how Miss kyle Li Minogue and all those dances and all the band and everyone who puts this show on does it.

when I am booked on flights and things. I don't know if people realize this, but you know, it doesn't matter who pays for the flights, I get the points. So when I fly, like my preferred airline is Virgin and I have my velocity points which I use my flybys for and they like transfer to velocity points as well. So velocity points is what I'm trying to do.

I was scouring the internet for every discount code possible. Usually I don't really bother with the discount code, but I was like creating a new email with fashion Nova, just so I got a thirty percent of first order sort of, you know what I mean. Like, I was doing all those things to make this possible. So I have no idea how much money I spent, but you know what I did this for me. It healed so much of my self and my inner child. I had the best time. I'm exhausted, but I had the best time.

It was so worth it. I'll never do anything like this again, but yeah, it was worth every second. Let's talk about the fact that Kylie Minogue actually herself saw the content commented on my reel saying I saying something along the lines of I'm constantly checking your page for updates, which sent me into a spin. By this point, I'm not sure whether I will have uploaded the video. We captured the moment on camera. I was with my friend Nick. It was after the Brisbane show that I saw it.

I actually saw it five hours after she commented. She commented before the Brisbane concert, about two hours before the I was obviously too busy doing all my content, got ready, went to the concert, came home, had a shower, was ready to go to the club with my friend Nick, and then saw the comment from five hours ago and had a full meltdown.

which because see, here's the thing. I started this series for me, and I was like, I don't really care if anyone is even gonna enjoy this. It's really niche and it's really different to what I do. Even just wearing makeup and wearing all the costumes, I don't do much of that anymore on the internet.

twenty seventeen vibes? The way we had crowds of people coming up and asking for photos and saying they've watched the journey online and blah blah blah. That was blowing my mind because I think since the pandemic, I want to say that sort of behavior doesn't really happen these days. People obviously come up and say hello, like love your stuff, like listen to the podcast, blah blah blah. But the screaming and the photos and the freaking out in the meltdownce,

I mean, I love it. There's nothing wrong with it. I'm not saying it's like it's a bad thing. I'm just saying I haven't experienced that kind of level of oh my god, oh my god in like a really long time, and that was kind of It was exciting. It was full on, it was confronting. I loved it. We had news articles written about the fact that that

was all happening. I got called a celebrity. I was put in a it was so funny in an article that was like all the celebrities at Mardi Gras, and it was like Kylie Minogue, then me second in the article. Then it was like Troy Sevan, Anthony Alberinezi, Delta Gudroum, and I was like, why am I number two? Like what's going on? And the videos on TikTok of people we spoke about it last week on the podcast, people filming me from their seats, everyone being like I'm looking for, alright, hate,

and I don't know. It was just kind of like more than I could have ever expected from this. I genuinely was like I might lose followers because this is so this is so random and not what I do, and the fact that everyone was so on board was just so incredible. Now, of course, the whole time, everyone was like, oh my god, you know you should be you should meet Kylie because blah blah blah blah. To me, let's let's talk about this, and this is like kind of what I was saying. I've kept this like aspect

off the internet. To me, Kylie Minogue is a very traditional celebrity. She's very untouchable. She's very unreachable. Like I don't I never in a million years would think that I would actually be able to meet her because she's just a more traditional celeb. These days and new up and coming celebs, I feel like they're much more. They interact with their fans a lot more. They will do the random meet and greets, they will do random pop

up fun things. And like she's she's been around for so long, she's kind of solidified herself as an icon anyway. She doesn't really need to do any of that. And also she's from a time where it was like celebrities didn't interact with people. So when people are like, oh, you, you know, surely Kylie needs to bring you on stage

or meet you, I'm like, no, that's like, wrong person. Yeah, one of the newer artists, like a Sabrina Carpenter or an Addison Ray or a Tate McCrae, Like, I can see that happening with them.

actually hate a stage moment. I'd hate to be pulled on stage at any concept ever, Like, I'm like, that, don't there's so many people watching. I don't know about that. But I when she commented that was like the first time that I was like, oh shit, like she's reachable because before that, I it's like she's so unreachable, she's never gonna acknowledge me. Blah blah blah, and then she commented.

super famous. But to me, like, I don't know, I think it's just because they're Ausie, like they're from here. I'm just like, yeah, it's just fucking Kylie just singing, spinning around on the stage. So it's just so funny and like, obviously you and I are so different in this way when we've spoken about this on the pod before, Like, there's no celebrity that I like, idolize and like, and it's just so interesting to see you like talk about a celebrity in this such passionate way.

shaped my childhood and blah blah blah. But one thing that I thought about actually when she commented on my reel and then you know, Nick had then left, because when he was there, I don't think I had like really processed it, and I was just like laughing. I couldn't stop laughing I was just like, this is just so funny and random, and like I was freaking out. But then when once he left, like then I was like crying about it because I was like what the hell?

And I had a moment to myself where I thought about, like why am I actually reacting this way? Like why do I love her this much? And I have this vision in my mind of like being in my bedroom as a child, like five years old, and like having her CD playing on the CD player and like my

bedroom door shut and me just like feeling safe. Like that's the best way to put it, is like I found a lot of safety in her music as a child who was very confused about who they were, was dealing with the fact they loved Nathan from high five

and didn't know what that meant. You know, I was coming I was in a time where I was like trying to figure out, you know, as well, whether I wanted to be a boy or a girl, or whether I was whether I was gay or But also at five years old and not being exposed to any of those conversations I had, it was more confusing. That's why it's so important. Like when we talk about you know, a lot of people say, oh, keep the children out of it, like children shouldn't know about these things so young,

like they're only five years old. They shouldn't know what transgender and gay and all of that is. Let me tell you, it would have helped me out a lot more if I did know about that, if I had seen a drag queen and gone to a drag story time and all the rest of that, like, it may have helped me a lot more than I needed. And so at that point, we didn't have any of that stuff. Kylie Minogue was my safety net, and when I would listen to her music, I felt very safe and secure.

Not that I was in a household where it's very hard to describe because I wasn't in a household like I don't come from a household where we had any issues or violence or any I'm not saying safety is in like that sort of thing, but it's just like you're just so confused and unsure of the world and you're just not really there's a lot of there's a lot going on, and so yeah, for her, she was

like a lot of safety for me. So it's like for her to acknowledge me and comment on that real and you know, there's the age old question was it her or was it her team? You know? And I fully believe that it was her, especially because since the reaction since from a lot of the people around her has kind of solidified that, like, she genuinely did love the series. And so basically, let's fast forward. We got to the Sydney show and we had people from front

Frontier Touring come up. I mean Frontier Touring came up to me another night in Melbourne, took a photo of me, put me on the Instagram. I'm like, her tour company has seen it. Mushroom Group were sharing my posts. Kylie Minogue Wines, her wine brand was sharing my posts. Love that.

I don't expect that at all. But I was also like, Okay, if it's gonna happen, the people who need to know, No, if it's gonna happen, there's no more that I can do. The right people know, and if that's going to be a possibility, and again, as I said, she's a traditional SOB, I'm like, there's no possibility, but you know, and then the things, the signs just kept getting more and more, Like, you know, when we got to the Sydney show, we were like, Hi, could you just wait here for one moment?

Someone needs to talk to you. And I'm going, oh my, what's going on. Then someone comes over high I'm from Frontier Touring and blah blah, someone from Kylie Minogue's team would like to talk to you tonight. And I'm going, oh my god, girls, here we go, what's going on? And then what's your seat number? They've taken a photo of my seat number. They'll come and find you in

your seats. Then I'm sitting in my seat or I got to my seat and then this lovely goal from Kylie Minogue's team was there and was like, Hello, I'm so and so from Kylie Minoag's team, and she is loving the content and she actually has a gift that she'd like us to get to you, So could you

tell me where you're sitting tomorrow? Blah blah blah, And I was like yeah, sure, She took down my number all the rest of it, and then we actually sat next to this guy who's a big head honcho at your Frontier Touring or mushroom groom and works with Kylie a lot. Oh that's the other thing I wanted to touch on. Sorry before we get into that, because now we're about to talk about our experience at Kylie and what happened that night. But that's what I want to say.

The other thing as well, is although for a lot of people who aren't in the Kylie Minogue world of it all, you're seeing what I'm doing and you're going, wow, super fan doing more than anyone else in the grand scheme of things, I really am at the bottom of the ladder when it.

going to thirty two. She's from Chicago, she came to Australia, did the ten shows, she's doing UK America and Canada. I think from memory, we sat next to this man who it was his sixty eighth Kylie Minogue show. There are super fans out there that do what I do and dress up every show and go to multiple shows, more shows than me, and do all of this and

spend so much more money and blah blah blah. I met so many people who have done what I do, what I've done on this journey tenfold, and they've never met Kylie Minogu, do you know what I mean? So it's like I think, as well, the other thing is you've got to be careful, Like I was, like, I'm trying to use my pr brain as well, because if Kylie was to meet me, it sets a precedent almost, doesn't it. And it's like, oh, well, if you want to meet and greet, you better just dress up and

go to ten shows. And that's what you get forgetting to do you know what I mean? Like it's like it's kind of like you have to think about like the whole image of what that would say, because how many people would she piss off if she met me? Yeah, when you've got the lady I met, who granted has met Kylie like five times, but she's going to thirty two shows, So if she meets me, well then why doesn't that warrant her getting one? Do you know what

I mean? And so all of these thoughts have been going through my brain like the entire tour, and I'm just that's kind of where my brain's been at. But anyway, we went. We had a great night. We were in the front row. We sat next to this guy, big Head Honcho Vibes sixty eighth Kylie min Oak Show, and you hit it off with him because you were actually sitting in to him and his partner.

you know what, I'll bring my friend. We'll go again, and I will say So I went like this Sunday night and we were sitting well, I ended up being near you, Matt, like sort of up on the side, little grandstand thing and it was really cool to see the show from a different angle because I feel like when we were down, like you're really like below the stage, Like the stage is like above your head, so you kind of have to look up and you're not like seeing all the way to the back of the stage.

So it's cool to see like all the dancers and stuff from a different angle. But I will say like when we're in the front row, we had the best time, and it was so different because you're in the front row, then it's just you and then like a meter and then the barricade, so like no one's in front of you, no one's obstructing your view. And we were dancing the whole time, and like we had our drinks in our hand, dancing and singing, holding onto the barricade kind of thing.

And then it made me realize how different of an experience it is if you're in another section. And then it got me thinking, and I said to you after the concert, because we just had so much fun. We were dancing and seeing the whole time. I was like, that was more fun than the Ears tour. But I think it's because we had a way better spot. Yeah, when we were at the Ears tour, we were so far up the grand stand, like I couldn't see Taylor, like she was like a little speck and like fuzzy.

So you watch like the TV screen the whole concert, but it's just so I can imagine like the people on the ground and in the front row at the Ears tour would have had that like amazing experience. So it was really cool to be able to experience front row at a show and then experience like sitting on the side, which was still great, but it's a different experience.

worry about anything obstructing your view. And I would say, like, as you all know, like this is basically the second concept I've ever been to besides Evanescence, going front row, Like I can see the hype and why people try so badly to get them because yeah, you're way closer. But it's just like a way better experience in terms of like your surroundings.

and I'd go, oh, my god. And it's so awkward as well, because you know, I know every word to every song, but sometimes in the moment you might slip up and sing the wrong fucking one. Well, there's no getting away with it. Like you are up in the stands and no one's paying attention. I'm front rah if I sing the wrong lyric? Kylie knowyes, because she's looking me down in the fucking eyes. And the other thing is everyone filming the whole time.

There's a couple of goodies in there. There was some merch in there, including a jumper that I was going to buy and a bucket hat that I was going to buy. And there was a key ring I didn't even know existed, and there was a tote bag, and there was also a note in there she had written on like attention to a card, Hi Matt loved all

the looks and then signed it love Kylie. Oh my god, I'll be framing that and putting that in the entryway of my house and that will be like a focal point and everyone who comes over I got and yes, this is my sign. And you know what, Brittany, Remember I've said before, I've never ever You're going to hate this. You're going to hate this, and you're gonna think I'm crazy.

I I'm obsessed, So thank you for that. And she said, oh, you don't understand, like she's truly obsessed with the whole thing, Like every time there's a post, she has to stop everything and look at the post and what you've done and blah blah blah. And I'm like, that makes my head spin. And I'm one of those people who like, in the moment, I'm cool, calm, collected, and then I have a fucking mental breakdown about it later and you

can just imagine. So then she's given me that, and then the concert was starting like five minutes later, so I've had that. I've gotten that, said goodbye to the girl from Kylie's team, and sat down in my seat and took a breather, enjoyed the concert, and then got home and then yeah, it all hit me. And then anyway, then I went out to the club and celebrate it and it was lovely, So I think success. I would love to meet her one day. I know everyone was

like begging for that. I know everyone was like, surely this ends in a meet and greet and I mean, I have one concert tonight and I don't know, who knows what could happen, but I doubt it. I feel like the present, which I'm very grateful for, and that's more than enough for me. And literally that's getting hung up in my house and I just like can't wait for that to be literally a focal point in my entry way so that anyone who comes to my house has to see my signed letter and card from Kylimanoak.

But I know a lot of people were like hoping that it would end in that, and of course I was as well. But I hope that today I've like explained a little more behind the reason why I think it's very justified that that wouldn't happen, do you know

what I mean? Her being a traditional celeb me really, at the end of the day, what I did, I know I did a lot, but there's a lot of people doing a lot more than me out there in the grand scheme of things, right, wild, wild, but so fabulous, And that's the impact this person has had on their life. Because sorry, last point. I know this is a close friend's episode. It has been a long one, and we're

gonna wrap up in a second. But the thing is, like, let's take someone Billie Eilish is the first person that kind of comes to mind, because she maybe Billy Eilish might maybe not a good maybe not a good example. Let's take Chapel Rone. Actually she's probably a better example. Right. If Chapel Rone comes to Australia and tours Australia, obviously the tickets are going to go off. But no one in that room can say that Chapel Rone has had

an impact on their entire life. That's the difference with Kylie Minogue is for so many of the people in that room, she's been there their entire life. Ye Like, for me, it's been my entire life. My earliest memories of my life, I can remember loving and listening to Kylie Minogue. So like, you know, I feel like the key these days that don't get it because like, yes, they love Chapel Rome, but they found Chapel Rome whether they were twelve or thirteen, or fifteen or seventeen or

nineteen or twenty one so on. Whereas for so many people, Kylie Minogue has been ingrained in their life from the get go, especially for me, because my parents loved Kylie Minogue. So then they've brought me up on Kylie Minogue sort of thing, and now here we are today. So it's like just different because even Lady Gaga, I wouldn't act this way or I wouldn't I would. You know, Lady Gaga, I love she had a huge impact on my life, but it was in my teen years, similar to Kylie.

I'm figuring myself out when I'm five. Lady Gaga, that's when I'm coming out and I know who I am now or I'm still in this final stages of figuring out who I am. But Lady Gaga will never have the impact on my life that Kylie has, do you know what I mean? So that's kind of the difference. That's why she's got so many super fans because she's been around.
