Kylie Minogue brought a ray of sunshine to the rainy 2024 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

On Thursday morning (Nov. 28), the Aussie pop icon lit up the 98th annual New York City event with a vibrant performance of a three-song medley featuring “Can’t Get You Out of My Head,” “Slow” and “Padam Padam.” Watch a fan-captured clip of the performance on X (formerly Twitter).


Dressed in a sleek black and red zip-up outfit and surrounded by dancers in similar attire, Minogue delivered her high-energy set in front of Macy’s iconic Herald Square flagship store. The performance was part of the annual tradition, broadcast live on NBC and simulstreamed on Peacock.

“Macy’s, what just happened? OK, that was fun, that was fun singing and dancing in the rain,” Minogue laughed on her Instagram Story after the performance. “Thanks for having me. I’m going to go dry off.”

This marked Minogue’s second appearance at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade; she previously performed in 2010, when she sang “Get Outta My Way” from her Aphrodite album.

The pop legend is currently promoting her latest album, Tension II, ahead of a major global tour in 2025.

In addition to Minogue, the parade featured nearly two dozen iconic balloons, including Snoopy, Bluey, Minnie Mouse, Marshall from Paw Patrol, Ronald McDonald, Pikachu, and newcomers Gabby, Goku, and Spider-Man.

Other performers included Jennifer Hudson, T-Pain, Chloë Bailey, Idina Menzel, Dan + Shay, Billy Porter, and Wicked star Cynthia Erivo, among many others.

The 2024 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade also showcased 34 floats, 11 marching bands, seven “balloonicles” and 28 clown crews, filling the streets with holiday cheer as the event wrapped up at noon ET.

Executive of the Week: Meet Darren Gilmore, the Canadian Manager Behind the Scenes of Hilary Duff's Chart-Topping Comeback

Working with artists like Mother Mother and Boy Golden, the president of Watchdog Management has used his veteran experience in the Canadian music industry to help orchestrate the comeback of the year so far with the No. 1 success of Duff's new album Luck... Or Something.

Hilary Duff is back, and her comeback is one of the best-executed in years — especially in Canada.

Her new album, Luck… Or Something, debuted last week at No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart, a feat she hadn't achieved in more than two decades. Building on the buzz of her intimate show at History in Toronto earlier this year that had the whole country buzzing, she's now coming to 10 different Canadian cities on her Lucky Me World Tour in 2026 and 2027.
