Cate Blanchett sends fans wild with her VERY animated dance moves at Glastonbury
Cate Blanchett became the Queen of Glastonbury Festival after she put on a surprise dance performance on Friday night.
The Australian superstar, 54, caused a frenzy with fans when she showed off her quirky moves on the Park stage at the annual music event.
The Oscar winner performed alongside the band Sparks, reprising her role in the music video for their song The Girl Is Crying In Her Latte.
Wearing the same striking custard yellow pantsuit and white loafers she wore in the video, she repeated her unusual shapes.
She put the suit on over a black shirt, buttoned up to her neck.

He told the audience, “Hopefully, as many of you know, we have a brand new album, which just came out a few weeks ago.
He continued, “We have a super special treat tonight.
“We recently shot a video for this song and we had the great honor of having the great actor Cate Blanchett with us – where are you Cate Blanchett?”
Tár’s protagonist then appeared on stage to explosive applause and proceeded to throw serious and energetic forms.
She didn’t say a word before or after the performance, but she did take a moment to hug one of the band members.

Fans absolutely loved the Australian producer’s performance.
One wrote: “Good morning only to Cate Blanchett.”
Another wrote, “Obsessed with the woman that is Cate Blanchett.”
One Sparks fan said, “Insanely jealous of anyone who gets to see Cate Blanchett [doing the dance] live.’
One Twitter user commented, “Just the iconic Cate Blanchett performing at Glastonbury.”
A fan addressed the blonde beauty: “Cate Blanchett, you are the moment.”
Sparks consists of brothers Ron and Russel Mael who have previously explained that they met Cate Blanchett in Paris at the Cesar Awards a few years ago.
We met Cate Blanchett in Paris at the Cesar Awards, little knowing that a year later one of the great actors of our time – and a wonderful person – would graciously agree to lend her booty-shaking skills for the first video of our new album,’ they said earlier.
While this was a welcome surprise, disaster struck another set on Friday night when the Arctic Monkeys were reportedly forced to pull off their headline show over concerns about a fan.
The band took to the iconic Pyramid Stage at Worthy Farm for a 90-minute set, which was criticized by fans for being ‘boring’, having seemingly ‘slowed down’ many of their hits.
However, it was said that the performance was halted by the band to allow aid to a fan after members of the public pleaded for medical attention.
Festival-goers reportedly used their mobile phones to alert stewards so they could help the troubled fan.
While lead singer Alex Turner and the rest of the group paused their performance to help the poor person efficiently.

Elsewhere on Glasto: Disaster struck another set on Friday night when the Arctic Monkeys were reportedly forced to cancel their headline show due to a fan concern.
That is what a witness at the event said The mirror: ‘Last night there was a moment on the set of Arctic Monkeys where they dramatically interrupted the performance when the fan became unwell.
Festivalgoers about 130 feet from the stage clamored for medics and frantically waved cell phone lights to attract the attention of stewards who rushed into the crowd to help.
“The band paused their set for the stewards to process the situation before continuing.”
