Born and raised in Melbourne, Minogue first achieved recognition starring in the Australian soap opera Neighbours, playing tomboy mechanic Charlene Robinson. She gained prominence as a recording artist in the late 1980s and released four bubblegum and dance-pop-influenced studio albums produced by Stock Aitken Waterman. By the early 1990s, she had amassed several top ten singles in the UK and Australia, including "I Should Be So Lucky", "The Loco-Motion", "Hand on Your Heart", and "Better the Devil You Know". Taking more creative control over her music, Minogue signed with Deconstruction Records in 1993 and released Kylie Minogue (1994) and Impossible Princess (1997), both of which received positive reviews. She returned to mainstream dance-oriented music with 2000's Light Years, including the number-one hits "Spinning Around" and "On a Night Like This". The follow-up, Fever (2001), was an international breakthrough for Minogue, becoming her best-selling album to date. Two of its singles, "Love at First Sight" and "In Your Eyes", became hits, but its lead single, "Can't Get You Out of My Head" became one of the most successful singles of the 2000s, selling over five million units.
Minogue continued reinventing her image and experimenting with a range of genres on her subsequent albums, which spawned successful singles such as "Slow", "2 Hearts", "All the Lovers", "Santa Baby", "Timebomb" and "Dancing". With her 2020 album DISCO, she became the first female artist to have a chart-topping album in the UK for five consecutive decades. Minogue made her film debut in The Delinquents (1989) and portrayed Cammy in Street Fighter (1994). She has also appeared in the films Moulin Rouge! (2001), Jack & Diane, Holy Motors (2012) and San Andreas (2015). In 2014, she appeared as a judge on the third series of The Voice UK and The Voice Australia. Her other ventures include product endorsements, children's books, fashion, and charitable work.
Minogue was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in the 2008 New Year Honours for services to music. She was appointed by the French government as a Chevalier (knight) of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres for her contribution to the enrichment of French culture. In 2005, while Minogue was on tour, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was awarded an honorary Doctor of Health Science (D.H.Sc.) degree by Anglia Ruskin University in 2011 for her work in raising awareness for breast cancer. At the 2011 ARIA Music Awards, she was inducted by the Australian Recording Industry Association into the ARIA Hall of Fame. She was appointed Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) in the 2019 Australia Day Honours.

Let It Snow
Kylie Minogue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let it snow let it snow let it snow
It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I've bought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
When we finally kiss goodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you'll really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
The fire is slowly dying
And my dear we're still good-bying
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow let it snow let it snow
When we finally kiss goodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you'll really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
The fire is slowly dying
And my dear we're still good-bying
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow let it snow let it snow
Kylie Minogue's rendition of "Let It Snow" is a classic Christmas tune that was originally written by lyricist Sammy Cahn and composer Jule Styne in 1945. This song portrays a cozy night indoors watching snowfall outside with warm emotions and love. The first verse sets a wintery scene with the frightening weather outside and a crackling fire inside, expressing that there is no need to worry about the turmoil outside since there are corns for popping and the lights are turned down low.
As the song progresses, the vocalist asks for the snow to keep piling up, and as it shows no signs of stopping, they highlight their love for their partner being more meaningful than being snowed in. The bridge of the song reveals the fear of going out in the storm, but as long as they are held tightly, they will feel warm and safe all the way home. The song concludes with the acknowledgment that the fire is dying, and they have to say goodbye, but as long as their love remains, they can enjoy the snow together.
Interestingly, this song was written in July in California, during a heatwave. Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne were trying to think cold thoughts, so they cranked the air conditioning and discussed how winter made them feel. They were able to overcome the summer heat and piece together this classic winter melody.

Oh the weather outside is frightful
The weather is really bad outside
But the fire is so delightful
But when we're inside, the fire is cozy
And since we've no place to go
Since we don't have any plans
Let it snow let it snow let it snow
We might as well enjoy the snow
It doesn't show signs of stopping
The snow isn't going to stop anytime soon
And I've bought some corn for popping
I bought some snacks to eat while we wait out the snow
The lights are turned way down low
The lights are dimmed to create a cozy atmosphere
When we finally kiss goodnight
When we finally go to bed
How I'll hate going out in the storm
I don't want to leave the cozy warmth to go outside
But if you'll really hold me tight
But if you hold me close, I'll feel better
All the way home I'll be warm
I'll feel warm all the way home even in the storm
The fire is slowly dying
The fire is starting to go out
And my dear we're still good-bying
And we're still saying goodbye to each other
But as long as you love me so
But as long as you love me, it doesn't matter
Let it snow let it snow let it snow
Let's just enjoy the snow and be happy together
