In a display cabinet on the elevated floor of the Melbourne Cricket Ground is housed a vibrant pink outfit donned by the pop star. The performance in front of a massive crowd of spectators was considered a major hit.
You might not enjoy the performer. Perhaps you believe he is the greatest gift to music the world has ever seen. Or you could adopt a balanced view, acknowledging that some tracks are excellent while others are terrible.
The key argument is that entertainment can manifest in countless ways. You like what you like. There is no one way to craft art or even five-day cricket.
Test cricket boasts incomparable variety. It's difficult to think of another sport where the playing is so dependent on external factors.
The elements, the session, the cricket ball – the factors are countless. Most important is the playing surface.
If the format is a form of art, the wicket is the canvas on which the athletes craft their legacy.
The fourth Ashes Test between the two sides was the game deconstructed, the traditional sport broken apart and reconstructed in abstract form.
Let's be clear, this isn't a defence of the pitch which produced a triumph and the another short match of the contest.
Allowing 10mm of grass on the pitch, resulting in numerous dismissals tumbling in less than a brief period, is not a fair contest between bat and ball.
But any notion this was a diminished spectacle, one that should be marked with an asterisk as not a proper Test, is wide of the mark.
The long game is a diverse canvas, over two thousand matches and still growing. At times, as witnessed recently, the ball behaves unpredictably for the pace bowlers. Sometimes, it grips and turns on a dust bowl. At other venues, the pitch is dead, other times it spits like a cobra.
The close matches are particularly captivating due to the investment committed during quieter periods.
Certain variables are embraced more freely than others.
The argument in Melbourne was that the contest was weighted unfairly towards the attack. That the skilled individuals were prevented from playing their natural game.
The format is about adapting to challenges – assessing the situation and responding effectively. The two highest individual innings were made by world-class players. One side committed more errors than the other, and thus were defeated.
Go and inform the fans who have endured a long drought that this lacked spectacle.
In a corner of the MCG, a sea of people celebrated and chanted, fostering a carnival vibe in a stronghold of sport.
There was belief as the attack excelled, impetus when players responded, and unconditional love when the win was confirmed.
The Melbourne has form with difficult wickets. In the past, a match there featured a pitch with the character of a pulled Christmas cracker.
That fixture was a grind, with limited drama and endless boredom. The two-day game and that drawn affair are diametrically opposed points of the spectrum – one is not more perfect, yet value can be ascribed to each.
Deep into the series into the current series, it is the quick finishes that will remain iconic in the history books.
"It's not the end of Test cricket at all," said a veteran. "Spectators who have been fortunate to see these 48 hours have been experienced some real entertainment. A unique show."
In the preparation to this Test, the leader talked like a man carrying the enormous pressure on his shoulders.
The players delivered for him, reinstating the joy to his countenance.
New faces stepped up with crucial roles. These are incremental gains, certainly not enough to guarantee long-term success, but a starting point to use as a platform.
At the very least, this triumph is added to other notable performances in meaningless games.
As the fans departed into a beautiful night, the players congregated on the outfield to commence their own celebrations.
Enjoy the drink, men. This victory was hard-fought.
