Camila Cabello<\/a> is the latest US pop star to pay tribute to an Australian classic on tour.<\/p>\n The Cuban-born singer and former Fifth Harmony member performed a stripped-down piano version of Natalie Imbruglia\u2019s 1997 hit \u201cTorn\u201d at her Melbourne show last night (August 27th).<\/p>\n She\u2019s not alone. Gracie Abrams<\/a> and Dua Lipa<\/a> have also covered the track on recent Australian tours, making \u201cTorn\u201d arguably the most popular Aussie song with overseas pop stars.<\/p>\n \u201cHere\u2019s the piping hot tea, right. We\u2019re in Australia, so I thought I should cover an Aussie,\u201d she told the crowd at Margaret Court Arena. \u201cThis is one of my favourite songs ever, and I\u2019m really excited to sing it.\u201d<\/p>\n The rest of the night quickly turned into a high-energy pop spectacle. Cabello appeared atop a giant inflatable white dome, fireworks blazing, before her backup dancers joined with sultry, precision choreography.<\/p>\n The elaborate custom-built stage design moved and opened to reveal stairs, cutouts, and hidden spaces (an easy win with local crowds, especially when some artists skip<\/a> big-stage setups here), with screens showing close-ups of Cabello singing and dancing.<\/p>\n Get your daily dose of everything happening in Australian\/New Zealand music and globally.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n She ran through hits like the salsa-infused \u201cHavana\u201d, \u201cSe\u00f1orita\u201d, and \u201cNever Be the Same\u201d, alongside new album tracks such as piano-backed \u201cB.O.A.T.\u201d and standout \u201cChanel No.5\u201d. The night closed with the high-octane Playboi Carti collaboration, \u201cI LUV IT\u201d.<\/p>\n Cabello connected with the crowd throughout, showcasing her vocals, dance moves, and undeniable star power. She dedicated \u201cDREAM-GIRLS\u201d to a fan flown in from Colombia, speaking to her in Spanish, and gave shoutouts to long-time fans she spotted in the audience.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s been too long since we\u2019ve been back in Australia\u2026 I\u2019ve stuffed my face with Tim Tams. Thank you, Melbourne, you legends!\u201d<\/p>\n Presented by Frontier Touring, Camila Cabello\u2019s Australian tour continues in Sydney on Saturday, August 30th. Tickets are available here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
