"Coming off my latest Tension tour - taking in 54 cities over more than six months - was quite emotional. By the time I began the European leg in Finland, I was thankful for my room at Hotel St George in Helsinki. Even though it's in the heart of the city, it was the perfect calming tonic. It has a spa and there are covers over the TVs, so I wasn't hit with a media wall unless I actively wanted it."
"In 2010 I performed in front of the Giza Pyramids and the Great Sphinx in Egypt. It was totally surreal and so moving. We were all completely in awe and kept wanting to turn around to admire them during the show. The desert breeze made my chiffon dress dance around me. Being out in the elements with that energy was utterly next level."
"Trundling along with Mum, Dad and my siblings, Dannii and Brendan, to Phillip Island off the southern coast of Victoria with our second-hand caravan. Three kids in the back, asking 'Are we there yet?' long before the two-hour drive was up. I have such fond memories of the beach, playing table tennis and all of us piling into this tiny caravan."
A 54-city Tension tour over more than six months produced strong emotions and relief found in a calming Helsinki hotel with a spa and covered TVs. A European heatwave caused near-fainting incidents in Paris and Antwerp and awkwardly improvised sound checks in Seville that resolved into golden-light performances. Latin American audiences, especially in Mexico City, delivered extraordinary volume and magic that met expectations. A 2010 concert before the Giza Pyramids and Great Sphinx felt surreal, with desert breezes animating a chiffon dress. Childhood holidays included family trips to Phillip Island in a second-hand caravan filled with beach games and fond memories.
