‘Completely wrong choice’: Amy Shark is cruelly trolled on social media for her ‘terrible’ and ‘boring’ performance at the NRL Grand Final alongside INXS’ Andrew Farriss and Kirk Pengilly
Australian singer-songwriter Amy Shark kicked off the pre-game entertainment for the NRL Grand Final in Sydney on Sunday.
The 34-year-old multiple Aria Award-winner took to the stage in a black crop top and skinny jeans, and performed a number of her hits, including 2020’s Everybody Rise.
However, she was cruelly trolled on Twitter, with many suggesting her ‘vibe’ wasn’t worthy of a Grand Final performance.
