Madonna is the epitome of self-confidence, but even the "Material Girl" isn't immune to a little jealousy every now and then.
In a new interview with Graham Norton, the "Vogue" hitmaker revealed that she was both "a little jealous" and "a little in love" with Kylie Minogue.
Minogue, who joined Madonna and Norton for part of the interview, is rumored to be part of Madonna's newest album, "Confessions II."
During the interview, Graham Norton asked Madonna how the idea for the famous Kylie Minogue T-shirt, which she wore at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Stockholm in 2000, came about.
"I was in my 'western' phase, I was decorating everything with decorative stones and thinking about singers that I was a little bit in love with. Of course I thought of Kylie and made a T-shirt with her name on it," Madonna said.
Minogue recalled her reaction when she first saw that shirt.
"I think I almost fainted. It was incredible," she said.
"Actually, I was a little jealous of you," Madonna interjected, prompting Graham Norton to immediately ask:
"Why?"
"Because it was so beautiful," Madonna replied.
Referring to her ex-husband, Guy Ritchie, Madonna continued:
"I think at the time my ex-husband had a crush on her. I was like, 'I'll never be as beautiful as Kylie!'"
Norton then asked if Kylie Minogue would be part of "Confessions II," but the two exchanged a smile and refused to confirm or deny the rumors.
"Why do you have to know everything?" Madonna told the moderator. "You're too curious."
When Norton recalled their joint performance during the 2024 "Celebration Tour," where they performed Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" and Kylie Minogue's "Can't Get You Out of My Head," the Australian singer said:
"What a moment! I loved it so much."
This time it was Kylie who wore a blouse adorned with decorative stones, with Madonna's name written on it.
