The Melbourne-born icon had the MCG crowd spellbound before Saturday's premiership decider between Fremantle and Brisbane.
After hours of rain, dark clouds abated just in time for the pre-game showpiece.
"A homecoming like this, I should be so lucky," she said as "K" and "M" flashed in the venue's floodlights.
The 58-year-old broke out a selection of her biggest hits across a 20-minute set, including Love at First Sight, In Your Eyes, On a Night Like This, Spinning Around, Slow, Padam Padam and Locomotion.
The Grammy winner's show included several wardrobe changes and no shortage of backup dancers or pyrotechnics.
The performance culminated in Kylie soaring through the air above a giant football emblazoned with her name as she belted out Can't Get You Out of My Head.
Sections of the 100,000-strong crowd gave the hometown hero a standing ovation.
Minogue topped a line-up that included G-Flip, Michael Paynter and Up There Cazaly singer Mike Brady, who marked his 48th grand final performance.
