"We didn't know it would become a viral sensation, and it reconnects me with a lot of people, but also a different generation, so they've put 'Padam' with 'Can't Get You Out of My Head,' 20 years apart but [they] kind of live together," she added.
This is Minogue's second Grammy Award because her first one was for the track "Come Into My Worl" under the Best Dance Recording category back in 2004.
