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.

Kylie Minogue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For so long I've been too scared,
To show the way I feel for you,
But I know what I have to do,
So I'm just gonna say it,
Love is like a game,
I'm not gonna play it,
I'm in so deep,
Can't think and I can't sleep,
I'm high up on a tight rope and it always leads to you,
These days ill find,
Your always on my mind,
I'm high up on a tight rope and I got to get to you,
Want to take you by the hand,
When we touch you'll understand,
And there's a love I can't deny,
And its too much to keep inside,
So I'm just gonna say it,
Love is like a game,
And I'm gonna play it,
I Hope you feel the same,
I'm in so deep,
Can't think and I can't sleep,
I'm high up on a tight rope and it always leads to you,
These days ill find,
Your always on my mind,
I'm high up on a tight rope and I got to get to you,
No more time should pass us by,
Don't ask how I know it but this time,
Its made for you and I,
I'm in so deep,
Can't think and I can't sleep,
I'm high up on a tight rope and it always leads to you,
These days ill find,
Your always on my mind,
I'm high up on a tight rope and I got to get to you,
The lyrics to Kylie Minogue's "Tightrope" are a declaration of love, highlighting the fear and uncertainty that often comes with expressing your feelings towards someone. Kylie goes back and forth between telling herself she needs to reveal her emotions and hoping the person she loves feels the same way. She compares love to a game, but ultimately decides she's not going to play it safe anymore because it's not worth holding back her feelings.
The chorus particularly emphasizes the intensity of her feelings and the urgency she feels in expressing them. She feels like she's on a tightrope, high up in the air and can't think or sleep because all she can see is the person she loves. She wants to take a chance and make her feelings clear, hoping they'll understand and feel the same way. The lyrics suggest that she has been holding onto these feelings for a long time and finally wants to take a leap of faith.
Overall, "Tightrope" is an emotional and relatable song about being vulnerable and taking risks in love. Kylie's strong vocals and catchy melody make it easy to get lost in the emotions of the song and feel connected to the message.
