Kylie Minogue, whose album Tension from 2023 featured the worldwide hit song Padam Padam, took home the first-ever Grammy for best pop dance recording.
She received her first Grammy in 20 years for the 55-year-old musical hit “Padam Padam,” which drew inspiration from a pulse. Come Into My World, an award-winning dance record released in 2004, was her best album.
This year, Rush, Troye Sivan, another Australian, and the party song by Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding lost to Minogue in her category. David Guetta’s song “One in a Million” and the song “Baby Don’t Hurt Me,” which features Coi Leray and Anne-Marie, were nominated.

The best pop dance track was one of the 85 prizes that were given out during the pre-show premiere ceremony.
Immediately after the event, Minogue stated on the red carpet that the LGBTQ+ community is her support system.
“I want to thank you for being there for me for so long, through thick and thin,” Minogue remarked to E!’s red carpet host, Laverne Cox.
“We experience the highs, lows, and everything in between, and it feels like the beginning of a new chapter knowing that we have each other’s backs.”
Padam Padam, the singer’s most recent Grammy, was a success that came as a surprise forty years into her career.
As soon as it was released in 2023, it became Minogue’s highest-charting success in the United Kingdom in eleven years. Her debut dance/electronic single, Padam Padam, reached number one on the Billboard charts for the first time.
This was her first top-40 Australian Aria chart appearance since Timebomb in 2012. Last month, Minogue surpassed the record for the greatest gap between entries, which stood at 26 years, when she debuted at No. 48 on the Triple J Hottest 100.
The winners of the 66th Grammy Awards included a number of notable individuals. Billie Eilish’s poignant “What Was I Made For?” won multiple awards; Boygenius, the alternative supergroup, won three, including best rock song and performance for “Not Strong Enough”; and pop diva Taylor Swift shocked her fans by revealing her next album while accepting her “Midnights” win.
