Kylie Minogue has been on a 'wild ride' for the last year

Kylie Minogue has been on a “wild ride” for the last year.

The pop icon released her latest studio album, ‘Tension’, and even won a Grammy over the last 12 months and she is "so grateful" for the resurgence she's experienced in her career.

The 56-year-old star told HELLO! magazine: “It’s been a wild ride, the past 12 months, I’m so grateful for the opportunities that have come my way.

"I’m working my socks off but it’s really rewarding. I love sharing this new era with long-time fans and it’s been amazing to have been introduced to a new generation of fans. I mean, wow."

Kylie has enjoyed huge success with her hit single ‘Padam Padam'. However, the pop star never imagined that it would become "a viral sensation".

She said: "I felt that it had the potential to become a hit, but what I didn’t imagine was that it would become a viral sensation and something of a pop culture moment.

"It was so much fun seeing it unfold day by day. While I was in the middle of the madness, I felt as though I was on the outside looking in, as it seemed to propel itself further into the world."
