Displayed inside a showcase on the elevated floor of the MCG sits a vibrant pink outfit performed in by the pop star. His show in front of a hundred thousand fans was considered a success.
You might not appreciate his music. Perhaps you believe he is the greatest gift to music in history. Or you could adopt a middle ground, acknowledging that some songs are excellent while others are awful.
The central idea is that enjoyment can be delivered diversely. Preferences differ. There is no one way to produce art or even Test cricket.
The five-day game boasts incomparable variety. It is hard to think of another sport where the outcome is so reliant upon external factors.
The climate, the session, the cricket ball – the factors are countless. Crucially is the playing surface.
If the format is an artistic pursuit, the strip is the foundation on which the players paint their masterpiece.
The Boxing Day fixture between Australia and England was Test cricket cubism, the traditional sport broken apart and reconstructed in abstract form.
It must be stated this is not a defence of the surface which resulted in a triumph and the another short match of the contest.
Having a thick layer on the wicket, causing a cascade of wickets being taken in less than six sessions, is not a fair contest between offense and defense.
But any notion this was a inferior show, one that should be qualified as illegitimate, is incorrect.
The long game is a diverse canvas, 2,615 parts and ongoing. On occasion, as witnessed recently, the ball moves excessively for the pace bowlers. Sometimes, it grips and turns on a spinning track. At other venues, the pitch is dead, other times it explodes.
The thrillers are particularly captivating because of the time devoted elsewhere.
Specific conditions are embraced more easily than others.
The debate in Melbourne was that the contest was weighted unfairly towards the fielding side. That the top batters were prevented from demonstrating their skill.
This level of cricket is about finding solutions – assessing the wicket and adapting accordingly. The best individual contributions were made by world-class stars. One line-up made more mistakes than the other, and thus were defeated.
Try telling the fans who have endured years of defeat that this wasn't compelling.
In a corner of the MCG, countless fans celebrated and chanted, generating a party atmosphere in a bastion of Australian cricket.
There was optimism as the fielding side dominated, momentum when players responded, and rapturous celebration when the win was achieved.
The MCG has previous experience with difficult wickets. Eight years ago, a match there featured a pitch with the excitement of a pulled Christmas cracker.
That contest was a marathon, with few wickets and slow play. The latest encounter and that previous match are extreme ends of the spectrum – one is not more perfect, yet value can be found in each.
Four Tests into the current series, it is the shortest games that will live longest in the collective consciousness.
"This isn't the end of the format at all," commented a veteran. "Fans who have been privileged to see these short time have been experienced some genuine drama. A unique show."
In the build-up to this match, the captain spoke like a man carrying the weight of the world on his mind.
The squad responded for him, bringing back the joy to his countenance.
New faces delivered with vital performances. These are incremental gains, certainly not enough to guarantee long-term stability, but something to build on.
Ultimately, this Melbourne victory is added to other notable performances in dead rubbers.
As the supporters left into a beautiful night, the squad congregated on the field to commence their own festivities.
Savour the moment, men. You've earned this one.
