Inside Amy Shark and Rebel Wilson’s ‘bougie Hollywood party’

ARIAs darling Amy Shark has spilled on the star-studded LA party she attended with good friend Rebel Wilson where the pair “rocked up for the free drinks and the free tennis gear.”

Amy Shark will likely spend this weekend spring-cleaning to make more room in her trophy cabinet.

The current darling of the Australian music industry is up for six ARIA Awards at the Wednesday night ceremony and is tipped to take home a handful of them following

the success of her chart- topping sophomore album Cry Forever.

The singer’s tour was cut short because of the Delta outbreak, but Shark is still up for best live performance and has been courting fans into voting for her.

As she looks forward to her tour resuming in 2022, she tells Stellar On Friday, “I don’t want to seem greedy because we’ve won it before but any time I’m up for that award I always say to my team, ‘Oh, let’s try to get that.’

“Because I know how hard my team works. Every artist says that, but you’ve got to be biased sometimes. I really just adore my whole crew and I’m so confident on stage because of them.”

Shark, 35, is also set to take the stage on Wednesday to perform ‘Love Songs Ain’t For Us’, the hit single she penned with British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran and that features vocals from Keith Urban.

“It’s going to be very pretty,” she says. “But there will be quite a moment of shock, I think...”

One element of the event that Shark confesses she’s woefully unprepared for is the red carpet.

“I think this is the time of year when my team are hating me!” she says.

“Because I say, ‘Oh yeah, we’ll be right.’ Then it’s the last-minute dash to try to make sense of any outfit. And it’s just so unprepared.”

The singer has just returned from the US, where she and her husband/manager Shane Billings were working.

“We were taking some meetings and mainly getting back in the studio and bringing to life some of the songs I’ve written in the past couple of years,” she tells Stellar On Friday.

However, it wasn’t all work for Shark, who joined good friend Rebel Wilson at a star-studded party in Los Angeles.

“We both got invited to this bougie Hollywood party, and it was decked out like a tennis scene. Rebel was like, ‘Are you going to go to this party?’ And I’m like, ‘Yeah, well, I’ll go if you go because I don’t know anyone else.’

“So we kind of rocked up for the free drinks and the free tennis gear and had a good time. She’s a legend and we get along really well, so it was fun to see her again.”

As for her next album, Shark says she’s taking inspiration from a global powerhouse who released her fourth record today.

“I watched an interview with Adele, and she said, ‘Keep your heart safe and your music dangerous’, and I was like, oh my God, that’s what I’ve been doing the past few months. Everything just feels a little risky – and I’m really excited by it.”
