"Everyone in the arena supported her and had her back. It was clear she appreciated the love and support of her fans, as she always has."
Kylie's friends and fans have come out in full force to support her on her mammoth tour, with Britain's Got Talent star Amanda Holden turning up to support her friend on Monday night.
The BGT host was in her element at her friends gig, as she danced alongside fellow BGT judge Bruno Tonioli and BBC co-star Alan Carr.

Rita Ora commands attention in leopard print bra and micro shorts as she performs at World Pride Music Festival in Washington DC
Rita Ora stripped down to a matching leopard print lingerie set and micro shorts during a performance at World Pride Music Festival in Washington DC on Friday. The songstress, 34, looked unbelievable in the skimpy outfit as she took to the stage for the two-day event. She pulled out all the stops for the big performance, turning heads in her figure-hugging ensemble. Rita paired her eccentric outfit with glittery eyeshadow and sunglasses to complete the look. She sang and danced to the crowd, who were also there to see Jennifer Lopez and Troye Sivan, to name a few. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The pride festival is held at Festival Grounds At RFK Campus in Washington D.C. Rita recently boasted about her latest song Heat, which was released on Friday. In the single, she sings: 'Your heat on me. Sex on sight. Anywhere you like. Inside or outside.' Heat is expected to feature on her upcoming, still untitled, fourth album, which will be her first album release since her 2023 You & I. Rita has recently been supporting Kylie for the first leg of her tour after she previously revealed that Kylie's 2023 mega-hit from 'Tension', 'Padam Padam', was nearly given to her. The synth-pop banger - penned by Norwegian singer-songwriter Ina Wroldsen and producer Lostboy - was a viral hit for Kylie. But several artists were asked if they wanted to record it, including the Anywhere singer, because they didn't feel it was a Kylie song. It comes after she kicked off her support gig on the tour in April at Atlanta's State Farm Arena. Rita gushed after her gig: 'First night of the tour, wow the reception was incredible and I'm so grateful for this opportunity to connect with North America. It feels like such a huge compliment to open up for such an icon.' Kylie's Tension Tour will conclude on August 26. She will then head to New York for two shows at Madison Square Garden before stopping for one show at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. The star is the highest-selling Australian female artist of all time and the third best-selling in the UK. But she has only now begun to make a name for herself in the US following the success of her viral 2023 hit Padam Padam. In the past Kylie has claimed her failure to catch on stateside didn't phase her and she enjoyed her anonymity there, however, her record label revealed in 2023 that the singer now has her eyes firmly set on cracking the US market.

Kylie Jenner teases construction work at mansion as she shows messages on walls
Kylie Jenner gave a glimpse at construction work that is underway at a house this week, with the photos believed to show inside one of her own properties in California Reality TV star Kylie Jenner gave a glimpse at construction work underway at a house this week. She hinted that it's taking place at one of her properties in a series of posts that she shared with fans on social media earlier. Kylie, 27, is said to live in a $36 million - roughly £27 million - mansion in Los Angeles. It's previously been suggested that the Kardashians star's property portfolio also includes an estate in a different area, with her having reportedly been building another home there after buying the land for $15 million - approximately £11 million - five years ago in 2020. The entrepreneur shared an update about a property with her followers on Instagram earlier today. Kylie posted a series of photos on the platform that appeared to show construction work underway at an undisclosed house. The first of the photos showed an unfinished archway over a staircase, with the entire structure made of wood. Wiring was seen on the walls and apparent electrical outlets in the process of being constructed were also visible nearby. Some writing was seen above the two outlets, with both instances accompanied by a question mark. It appeared to resemble the word 'sconce' - which is a fixture that can be attached to a wall to hold candles or other lighting. Another photo shared by Kylie showed comments written in black pen on a piece of wood elsewhere. Part of the message read: "We love you Kylie." Above two hearts, it seemed to continue: "God is here." It's unclear who wrote it. The final photo instead featured the first name of Kylie's daughter Stormi, 7, written in green pen beneath a drawing on a wall. Stormi is the eldest of the former Keeping Up with the Kardashians ' two children with her former partner Travis Scott, 34, with them also parents to Aire, 3, together. Kylie didn't provide a caption on any of the three posts that she shared with her followers on her Instagram Story earlier. It remains unknown where the photos were taken. The US Sun suggests that it shows work underway at the property she's reportedly building, rather than her current home. The photos are the latest insight into Kylie's life after she shared previous updates on the platform just days ago. Earlier this week, she uploaded a series of other photos and wrote in the accompanying caption: "My week on [film emoji]." Stormi and Aire featured in the post, as did pals including Hailey Bieber, 28, and Kylie's sister Kendall Jenner, 29. Some of the photos showed Kylie herself, with her seen beaming as she looked towards the camera in one of them. Many fans shared their excitement over the post, with one writing at the time: "My heart is smiling. Beautiful beautiful!" Others instead expressed disappointment that her partner Timothée Chalamet wasn't in any of the photos, despite Kylie sharing photos from time they spent together. One fan said: "Post the pictures with Timothee alreadyyyyyy."
