YouTube Music llevó los ARIA Awards a todo el mundo. Retransmisión de los premios más importantes de la música australiana desde el Star Event Centre de Sydney y de nuevo mostraron lo que viene siendo un continuo desde hace ya muchos años, no tienen nada que envidiar a los Grammy y los Brits.
Presentados por uno de los triunfadores Guy Sebatian, tuvieron las actuaciones de Halsey y Dua Lipa, dos de las mejores sin duda de la noche australiana, mañana en Europa. Pero además actuaron Tones And I con su monster hit Dance Monkey, el estupendo Morgan Evans con Day drunk, Khalid, Human Nature, y cerró Guy Sebastian con su temazo Choir.
Human Nature se llevaron el ingreso en el Hall of Fame, con un vídeo de agradecimiento entre otros de Céline Dion, Smokey Robinson y Olivia Newton-John, que resaltaron los valores de un grupo que comenzó como Boy Band para terminar haciendo sold outs, como rosquillas.
Guy Sebastian con su premio al mejor single y vídeo y Dean Lewis con el premio al mejor álbum, ambos más que merecidos, aguaron un poco la fiesta a Tones And I, que aunque se llevó 4, perder el de mejor canción, con su Dance Monkey, que ha roto todas las barreras en la música australiana y #1 en otros 18 países fue una sorpresa. Merece una atención, el premiar no solo lo que vende, sino también la calidad sin menospreciar el éxito masivo.
En el premio internacional triunfó Taylor Swift con Lover, disco que ha sido #1 en Australia y disco de platino.
