Kylie Minogue became emotional when she accepted the Global Icon Award at the BRIT Awards with Mastercard.
The 55-year-old pop superstar began her music career in the late 1980s and has gone on to become the best-selling Australian artist of all time with more than 80 million records sold but admitted that when collecting the prize on Saturday's (02.03.24) ceremony that she still sometimes feels like a teenager who could only dream of such things.
She said: "I really tried hard to think about something to say but I knew I couldn't plan anything. I knew it would be all about the emotion.
"For some of you, it's been a lifetime - 36 years and counting. The thing that really gets me is a love of music and connection with people. Wherever you are, watching at home...I have people in this room who I've worked with for years. There's a part of me that's still a 14-year-old girl in her room dreaming of making music and being in this industry. I met some of the BRIT students before and I feel you, I feel your promise and I'm so excited. Here I am with this so anything is possible. You have my heart forever and always, thank you so much."
