Kylie Minogue has praised Lady GaGa for bringing pop music back into the mainstream in the States.
The singer, who is gearing up for the release of her new album Aphrodite this summer, admitted that she has enjoyed watching GaGa's sharp rise to international fame.
She told Access Hollywood: "She’s like a meteor that just came from outer space and landed on the pop landscape or pop/dance landscape and just… there was dust in everyone’s face.
"I think it’s amazing. She’s largely responsible - along with others who have brought dance to the kind of mainstream or pop arena in the states. She’s incredibly talented. She’s an absolute force to be reckoned with and I’m a great admirer."
Discussing her tour last year in the US, she said: "It was a micro-tour, but I’ve got to tell you it was so rewarding. It was a mission from the heart. It was like setting my wallet on fire because basically it just made no financial sense to do it, but I just reached a point where I thought, ‘That’s it! I just wanna!’
"I got a lot of reward from it right back to the heart, so it was amazing."
Kylie releases Aphrodite in the UK on July 5, preceded by 'All The Lovers' on June 28.
