00:00 We're here with the icon Kylie Minogue. We're both wearing green today, which I love.
00:05 I'm being a total accident.
00:07 Right, and we came in theme. The whole carpet, the whole move. Look at us. Look at us.
00:11 We're here. We're here. We're camouflaged.
00:14 Yes, we're camouflaged. And of course, you're about to receive the Icon Award at this year's Billboard Women in Music.
00:20 So well deserved. What does it mean to be recognized for all your illustrious career over the years?
00:26 Oh, it could make me cry very easily.
00:31 I don't think any of us do it for recognition, but it's certainly nice.
00:35 What is the key to longevity for yourself and for your fans? How do you keep it fresh and exciting for you?
00:44 I'm always pretty excited about it.
00:46 That's a good thing. You never lose your passion.
00:49 No. And even years and years ago, before I'd come this far, I was, I remember being asked a long time ago,
01:00 what else you've done so much? What else you've done at all? What else do you want to do?
01:04 I'm like, what do you mean? Tomorrow is a different day. There's a song that hasn't been written.
01:10 There's a song that hasn't been sung. There's a new, there's experience everywhere you want to turn.
01:16 And I think if you have the curiosity and the passion for it and great fans, who I used to have to,
01:27 I felt like I used to have to kind of defend myself for changing styles or changing, you know, shape shifting.
01:37 But my fans have always loved it and let me develop over time.
01:41 I was about to say that's what makes you so unique is that you don't allow yourself to be confined in any box.
01:47 I can't stand it. I can't stand being closed with people, with ideas.
01:51 It's the Gemini in me. I'm an air sign. Let her move and she's happy.
01:56 With the wind. I love it. I love it. And lastly, women are having a huge moment tonight.
02:01 They're dominating the People's Choice Awards.
02:04 What advice do you have for women coming up in the industry right now?
02:10 It's a very good question. It's a very big one. I would just say, believe in yourself.
02:17 Value the opinions of people that you respect.
02:22 We, I still do it. The voices get in your head.
02:26 But I think in today's world, it feels like it and I hope it's true.
02:33 Of course, it's not for everyone and people need encouragement, but just own yourself.
02:38 Own your highs, your lows, everything in between.
02:42 Live your fullest life and yeah, you got it. The core of you has it.
02:48 I love it. I love it. Thank you kindly. I'm so excited to see you.
02:51 That's a note to self as well.
02:52 well.
