Minogue is often seen as one of the happiest figures in pop music, but she revealed to the BBC that the pressure of needing to change outfits seven or eight times for each performance on her tour has been difficult for her.
She mentioned, "It's chaotic and incredibly overwhelming. I tend to curse a lot. It only takes one small issue to throw everyone into a panic."
Minogue mentioned, "I recently walked past the costume department during a performance and thought to myself, 'I'm such an awful person. I really apologize.' But they replied, 'Don’t worry, what goes on during quick changes is kept in quick changes.'"

Minogue's popularity has lasted for five decades, but during the 80s and 90s, when she began her career in pop music, she faced some harsh criticism from reviewers.
A critic from the Sydney Morning Herald, reflecting on her inaugural tour in Australia in 1990, remarked: "It's astonishing to see how even mediocrity can achieve great success."
In an interview with the BBC, she expressed, "It was really frustrating to see how mean people could be, and it wasn't just some anonymous individual online. These were adults who should have acted more responsibly."
She mentioned that portraying Charlene Mitchell in Neighbours simultaneously assisted her in managing everything, as it required her to be at work every day.
