The pop icon played ‘Can’t Get You Out Of My Head’, ‘Slow’ and ‘Padam Padam’ at the annual event, her first appearance there since 2010.

Persevering through adverse, drenched conditions, she took to TikTok after the performance, saying, “Macy’s, what just happened! OK, that was full-on singing and dancing in the rain, but it was a lot of fun! Thanks for having me. I’m gonna go dry off.”

Check out some of the television coverage of Kylie’s Thanksgiving performance here:

Also at this year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, Netflix oversaw a Wednesday-themed float in which the title character served her brother Pugsley’s head on a platter.

There was also an army of Wednesday lookalikes and a special performance of The Rolling Stones‘ ‘Paint It Black’ by Bishop Briggs at the Macy’s Parade accompanying the float.

Elsewhere this holiday season, Bruce Willis’ family shared heartwarming pictures with the actor celebrating with his daughters Tallulah and Scout.

In other Kylie news, she recently opened up about why she “misses almost everything about the ‘90s”.

“There were no phones, dance music was going nuts and I was in it and among it, going to the clubs, going to fashion shows, pounding the pavement, going to markets,” she said. “I wasn’t wasting time scrolling on socials or dealing with, like, adulting. So there’s a lot I miss. Overall just freedom.”

Recently, Minogue released ‘Tension II’. In a glowing five-star review of the LP, NME shared: “Not to put a damper on the triumph that was ‘Tension’, but ‘Tension II’ surpasses it by light years – and, in so doing, awkwardly puts into question the need to connect the two albums in the first place. This collection of (mostly) new songs stands strong on its own. The record is tighter yet bolder, sexier yet sadder, as icy, electropop siren Kylie once again leaves it all on the dancefloor.”

Speaking about ‘Tension II’ with NME while in Singapore, Minogue said that the tracks on the LP are overall, “a fun group of friends” and that the album was a “fresh start” for her.

“I feel like it’ll be time for something – maybe not as singular as [‘Impossible Princess’] – but to bring some of that back in,” Minogue said, revealing that she “already had a few songwriting days in the studio with my closest [collaborators] for whatever’s to come”.

“I’m not sure how much of [what I’m working on] is because [of] where my output has been of late. We’ve been pretty solid on ‘What’s the hit, what’s the hit, what’s the hit’,” she said. “So, it’s some of that slightly meatier kind of the other stuff that I’m really drawn to.”

In other news, the pop icon will also be taking the album and its predecessor on tour next year. The Tension Tour includes dates in Australia, the UK, US, Canada, Thailand, Japan, Taiwan and the Philippines. In the recent NME interview, she said she wants to bring back her “90s experimental side” for the tour.
