Kylie Minogue has addressed claims that Taylor Swift stole her look.
This comes after Swift announced her new album, The Life of a Show Girl, with the cover art showing the singer wearing showgirl regalia.
This imagery did not go unnoticed with fans, who claimed that it imitates similar looks that Kylie has used throughout her career, including her Showgirl: The Greatest Hits tour and the subsequent tour DVD, titled Kylie Minogue: Showgirl.
"There's only one Showgirl and that's Kylie!!", one fan wrote.
"Kylie is the one and only showgirl!" one person added. "No shade to Taylor but Kylie is the ultimate".
Now, Kylie Minogue has responded to these claims by sharing her "respect and admiration" for her fellow artists.
"When all your friends start sending you your Showgirl mems!!! Awww," Minogue wrote in a caption accompanying a set of photos of herself in full showgirl garb on Instagram. "Showgirl" is the name given to female singer-dancers who perform in cabaret acts and chorus lines".
"Showgirl life is 'a thing', multi dimensional and so much more than feathers and dazzle," she added. "Respect and admiration to all my fellow hard working Showgirls".
Taylor Swift confirmed that The Life of a Showgirl would arrive on October 3. More on this here.
