During a recent interview with Graham Norton, pop superstar Madonna, 67, made a surprising admission to fellow artist Kylie Minogue.

Madonna revealed that she was once "a little bit jealous" of Minogue, shedding light on a previously unshared aspect of their relationship.

The confession came as Madonna promoted her upcoming album, *Confessions II*.

The conversation touched upon Madonna's memorable appearance at the 2000 MTV Europe Music Awards, where she wore a T-shirt emblazoned with Kylie Minogue's name in rhinestones.

Madonna explained the inspiration behind the shirt, stating, "I was in my Western mode, rhinestoning everything, and I was trying to think of singers that I’m slightly in love with.

And so naturally I thought of Kylie and had a T-shirt made of her." Minogue, 58, recalled her reaction to the unexpected tribute, saying, "[There was] no warning.

I don’t know what I did, probably just stopped shy of fainting.

It was amazing."

It was then that Madonna disclosed her past feelings of jealousy.

When asked for the reason, she candidly replied, "'Cause she was so cute.

I think my ex-husband at the time had a crush on her.

I was like, ‘I’ll never be as beautiful as Kylie!'" This revelation offers a rare glimpse into the personal insecurities of a global icon, humanizing her in a way that resonates with many.

The interview also briefly addressed rumors about a potential collaboration between Madonna and Minogue on the new album, though the article does not provide details on Madonna's response to this speculation.
