  "account": "Kylie Minogue dazzled over 100,000 fans at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) for the AFL Grand Final pre-game entertainment. The 20-minute set was filled with hits, costume changes, and aerial performances. Opening with a video package, Minogue paid homage to her younger self and the upcoming match. She performed a range of hits from her 30-year career, including \"Can't Get You Out of My Head\" (2001) and \"Padam Padam\" with G Flip. The set took a dramatic turn when Kalkadunga songman William Barton joined Minogue on stage to play guitar for her 1994 track \"Confide in Me.\" To end the night, Minogue emerged from a bedazzled football, spinning around the stadium and finishing with a performance of \"Can't Get You Out of My Head.\" While the performance was centered on Minogue, G Flip also made a significant contribution with their ARIA-nominated hit \"Bed on Fire.\" The entertainers managed to fill the 20-minute set to the brim, leaving fans eager for more.",
