Dannii Minogue fans are beginning to wonder if the singer might be heading to Eurovision in 2024.
The suggestion that the pop star might be on her way to Malmo ramped up after Minogue shared a social media post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, which showed the design for the Eurovision stage.
“The stage is set…and the countdown has begun!” Minogue said, sharing a video of the massive stage that will be built in Malmo, Sweden.
