The 2020 ARIA Awards looked a little different this year due to the coronavirus pandemic, but that didn’t stop the country’s top female musicians – including Delta Goodrem – from putting on a show to remember.

The 36-year-old singer-songwriter, who was also the host of the event, was joined by Amy Shark, Marcia Hines, Tones and I, Kate Ceberano, country music trio The McClymonts, Montaigne, Christine Anu and Yellow Wiggle Emma Watkins for an emotional performance of Helen Reddy’s feminist anthem, I Am Woman.

Ahead of the performance, former Prime Minister Julia Gillard also gave a speech about the late Helen Reddy admitting she’d been “carried away by her power and potential” as she sang her lyrics, “You can bend but never break me because it only serves to make me more determined to achieve my final goal.”

Delta shared a video of the performance to her own Instagram account remarking: “Honoured to perform this timeless anthem by Helen Reddy alongside so many incredible, talented women.”

And her fans went wild for it.

“This was magical!! Makes me so proud to be a strong woman and to have so many strong women to look up to,” former Bachelorette Angie Kent wrote.

“SO SO BEAUTIFUL!!! We love some women empowerment! Women supporting women we love to see it! Sooooo beautiful,” a third exclaimed.

“So empowering ladies, Beautiful tribute. Nailed it ALL Delts, so proud,” wrote another.

Fans were quick to praise Delta for her incredibly moving performance.

Delta’s fans also couldn’t get enough of her sultry look for Australian music’s night of nights.

“DAMN GUUUUURL Who gave you the right to look that good ooft,” exclaimed one fan.

“Absolute smoke show,” close friend Renee Bargh penned.

“Someone call the fire brigade coz my screen is on fiiirrrrreee,” joked a third.

Earlier this month when she attended the Melbourne Cup, Delta sent fans into a frenzy when she showed off her sexy side in a similarly low-cut dress.

“You have the chest of an ancient Greek goddess,” one fan previously commented on one of her snaps.

“Such a supermodel hottie,” another added.
