Rita Ora has been on fire lately, and it's no surprise why – she recently released a sizzling new single called 'Heat', which is set to be featured on her highly-anticipated fourth album. In the sultry track, she belts out: 'Your heat on me. Sex on sight. Anywhere you like. Inside or outside.' Talk about turning up the heat!

But what's even more juicy? Rita Ora has been supporting none other than pop icon Kylie Minogue on her massive tour, and it seems their collaboration is paying off big time! In fact, sources close to the star revealed that Kylie's hit single 'Padam Padam' was almost given to Rita instead – can you imagine a world where we're listening to Rita Ora belt out those catchy hooks?

The synth-pop banger, penned by Norwegian singer-songwriter Ina Wroldsen and producer Lostboy, was originally offered to several artists before Kylie swooped in and stole the show. And trust us, she's been killing it on stage – her Tension Tour has been a massive hit, with fans going wild for her high-energy performances.

Rita Ora has been raving about her experience opening for Kylie, saying: '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.' And we have to agree – it's not every day you get to share the stage with a legend!

But what's next for Rita Ora? With her sizzling new single 'Heat' and upcoming album on the horizon, fans are eagerly waiting for more music from this talented songstress. Will she follow in Kylie's footsteps and conquer the US market?

As the Tension Tour comes to an end on August 26, we can't help but wonder – will Rita Ora be joining forces with Kylie again? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure: these two pop icons are bringing the heat, and we're here for it!
