The genius of Kylie Minogue – and the key to her success over four decades – is that she has constantly reinvented herself, from soap star to pop starlet to fashion icon to serious actor to Las Vegas showgirl.

The result is there for all to see: 80 million record sales and a string of hits, culminating most recently with a viral Tik Tok video that helped her break America. And throughout that time she’s held on to the title of the princess of pop.

Of course, it’s only in fairytales that princesses live happily ever after and Kylie’s life has been touched by tragedy. But since 2021 she has been living surrounded by her family in her native Melbourne, from where she talked exclusively to Radio Times for this latest issue.

Is there a price to be paid for being pop’s eternal princess? Read Kylie’s interview in this week's RT to find out as she looks back on her 35-year career, while remaining resolutely focused on the future.
