The 'Please Stay' singer attended the awards to collect the 'Dancefloor Hero' award. She was presented with the accolade by close friend and Scissor Sisters frontman Jake Shears.
In the backstage interview, Minogue revealed that she was almost tempted to focus on acting rather than making the new LP. It was suggested that she may take an extended hiatus from her music career following her 25th anniversary celebrations last year.
The 44-year-old said: "I didn't ever really consider giving up completely, but I was kind of seduced into going back to the acting world.
"But music brought me back and I'm so happy, it's just been a very different experience recording here in Los Angeles."
Minogue has worked with a number of new producers on the follow-up to 2010's Aphrodite, including Stargate and Darkchild.
Rodney 'Darkchild' Jerkins tweeted about working with Min! ogue earlier this week. He posted: "DAY 2 Working with @kylieminogue #PureMagic Pleasure working with u Kylie!"
Her new album is expected to be released later this year.
