Madonna was 'jealous of Kylie' and hints at Glastonbury 2027 headline set

Pop superstar Madonna confessed to feeling jealous of fellow artist Kylie Minogue during a recent interview with Graham Norton. The "Like a Prayer" singer revealed that her jealousy stemmed from Minogue's perceived "cuteness" and a possible past admiration from her ex-husband, film director Guy Ritchie.

“

I was actually a little bit jealous of you.

"I was actually a little bit jealous of you," Madonna told Minogue, who made a surprise appearance as a barmaid during the interview. "Why?" asked Norton. "Because she was so cute. I think my ex-husband at the time [Guy Ritchie] had a crush on her, and I was like, 'I'll never be as beautiful as Kylie'."

In a wide-ranging discussion about her forthcoming album, "Confessions II," Madonna also dropped a strong hint about a potential headline performance at the Glastonbury Festival in 2027. While discussing touring plans, she suggested that after promotional tours, "something bigger" might be on the horizon in the summer of that year. Norton's knowing reaction and Madonna's sly grin suggested a significant UK performance was being discussed.

I think I'll do promo tours for a while, then in the summertime something bigger.

The album itself delves into Madonna's early days in 1980s New York and her life as a dancer. It also touches on personal relationships, featuring a duet with her daughter, Lola, that addresses strains in their relationship. Another track, "Fragile," is a tribute to her brother, Christopher, who died of cancer in 2024. Madonna expressed excitement for fans to hear the album, describing it as "a whole story."

That's how I started. I was a dancer. Dancing is in my DNA. It just creates community - and sometimes relationships.
