US pop star spotted in Perth ahead of debut headline concert
The 25-year-old kept it casual, wearing a white tank top, tracksuit pants and a pair of black sunglasses as she made her way to a parked Mercedes van on Thursday morning.
Abrams landed in Perth for the first time on Wednesday night, stopping inside the airport to take photos with waiting fans.
Videos on social media show the hitmaker beaming as fans swamp her with gifts, including flowers

She is set to play hit songs I Love You, I'm Sorry, Close To You, That's So True and Us, which features Taylor Swift.
Videos posted to TikTok show people already setting up tents outside RAC Arena to secure their spot in line.
One woman who walked past the venue on Wednesday night spotted 16 tents pitched near the GA entry door and couldn't believe hardcore fans were there two days in advance.
While the desperate fans are excited to see their idol in the flesh, the camping out does go against the arena's queuing policy.
'For your safety, we don't encourage queuing at the arena before 8am on each day of the event as there are no external facilities available to accommodate this, including bathrooms,' the website says.
'When onsite, please be mindful of bringing appropriate weather protection.'

Abrams first visited Australia in January 2024, which saw Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney fans line streets and six concerts selling out in minutes after going on sale.
Abrams quickly rose to fame after her catchy love songs went viral on TikTok and kicked off her sold out, 23-date North American run in September.
Most recently she features on a song with Selena Gomez called Call Me When You Breakup, co-produced by Benny Blanco.

Prawns, Pimms and Pedigree: Tessa Daly returns to hometown of Carnarvon for food, fashion and race day fun
She's the daughter of Carnarvon's most decorated trainer, a rising racing media talent, and now, a proud hometown host for one of the region's most delicious new events. Tessa Daly — the daughter of Carnarvon horse trainer Peter Daly — is set to return to her roots on August 1 for the Massey Bay Prawns and Pimms Race Day, the grand finale of Carnarvon's Gascoyne Food Festival leg. 'I grew up following (dad) around the countryside, going to lots of different racecourses all around WA,' she said. 'I guess it's in your blood when you grow up with it.' Despite dabbling in WAFL operations and dreaming of a career in sports media, Daly said the pull of the racing world was far too strong to ignore. 'I was getting up at 3.30am to work with horses, get that job done by 8am and then rushing to East Fremantle Football Club and back to the stables,' she said. 'It was ridiculously long days and I thought – 'I'm 26 - I either need to try and chase these media dreams while I'm still somewhat young and don't leave it too late'.' Now part of Racing WA's TV broadcast team as mounting yard analyst, Daly's focus is on blending her background with her passion – and that's exactly what Prawns and Pimms is all about. 'It's about bringing people from all walks of life into racing,' she said. 'Sea Harvest have donated prawns for the day, and Pimms goes hand in hand with the races — prawns, Pimms and a bit of a punt and a bit of fun as well.' Held on the day that all Australian horses celebrate a birthday, the afternoon will feature local food, drinks, music, and a laid-back trackside atmosphere – all part of a bigger plan to showcase Carnarvon's produce. 'Racing in Carnarvon falls at the perfect time of the year. The weather's great and the produce is even better,' Daly said. 'Doesn't matter if you're involved in racing or if you like racing or not — it's an opportunity to dress up, have a drink and enjoy fresh seafood.' The event is supported by Sea Harvest, Racing and Wagering WA, and the Gascoyne Food Council, and forms one part of the month-long Gascoyne Food Festival trail.

Tracee Ellis Ross rubbishes 'insane' idea she only packs two pairs of underwear on her travels
Tracee Ellis Ross has rubbished "insane" claims she only packs two pairs of underwear for trips. The 52-year-old actress sparked debate online after comments at the Travel + Leisure World Summit last week when she opened up about how much she packs for her travels. Clarifying her comments on the TODAY show, she told Savannah Guthrie: "What I said was 'in my carry on.' What I said was in my carry on I usually bring two pairs of day undies, two pairs of sleeping undies, a nightie, a flip flop — depending on what time of year it is — a dress that can turn into night or day." Tracee insisted she has a travel motto of "BIA - bring it all", and she checks a "minimum of four bags" when she's getting on a plane. She added: "I pack for beauty and disaster." The star also admitted she likes to swap her underpants "many times a day". She said: "And let me also be clear, I'm a person — because I did a hand washing video and I put it on TikTok — that I'm a person who changes my undies many times a day. "This is a ridiculous conversation, people!' However, Tracee insisted she is able to laugh off the idea of being misquoted, especially for such a "dumb topic". She said: "People hear what they want to hear. It's a dumb topic. There's so many things going on. It's hilarious." She did offer some advice for people on their travels, and reiterates the benefits of sink washing your undergarments. She explained: "There's certain delicates, you just wash them in your sink. I don't really want anyone else touching my undies.' The Black-ish star previously admitted she has to pack sensibly when it comes to longer trips. She told T+L's editor-in-chief Jacqui Gifford: "If I'm gone for a month on this trip, you can't pack a month's worth of underwear. 'How do you do that? They take up a lot of space.'

Aussie reveals ‘insane' details about Berlin's infamous club
Berghain is renowned for it's elusive door policy, hypnotic techno and no-phones anything goes atmosphere, but an Aussie influencer has recently revealed all about exactly what happens inside. Jacki, 29, posted a video on TikTok and explained all of the scandalous scenes she witnessed inside after gaining access to the club that is infamously hard to get into. Berghain's black-clad dress code and tough door policy reflect its roots in Berlin's queer underground, aiming to protect freedom, anonymity, and self-expression. She shared a video of her outfit alongside her friend Jesse which consisted of a short black skirt, cropped black top and black gloves while Jesse wore a see-through vest and loose black trousers. In a separate video she revealed every detail of her night at Berghain, addressing her followers while she did her make up. 'Once the guy told us we looked a little bit boring but he waved us in, the next thing you do is go through bag check . . . the entrance fee was $29 which I thought was kind of a bargain compared to what I think you would pay in a club that big,' she explained. Her first surprise was that most club-goers had an entirely different, often skimpy, outfit to wear once they gained entry to the club in a 'locker room' area which you enter after the bag check. 'Some of these outfits people got into were kind of insane, there were girls in lingerie, maybe just a g-string, nothing on top. Certain guys were getting full nothing on, full everything swinging, hanging out.' Berghain has a strict no photos or videos rule, their Instagram profile on has one post - a picture of the iconic sign. Credit: Berghain / Instagram She explained that next, everyone's phone cameras were covered with stickers to prevent people disobeying the strict no photos or videos policy, then she walked into the main warehouse which has three floors, and lots of different rooms. 'There's also two different dance floors, one super techno one and one more slightly disco, EDM one at the top, no words or anything like that but one's a little more dancey and one's super heavy techno,' the 29-year-old said. The Aussie pair entered the club in the late afternoon having had one drink, but were surprised how cheap the bar was at such a famous club. 'So once me and Jesse got in at about 5pm we were basically sober . . .so we went straight to the bar. The drinks were really affordable, it was like seven euros for a drink and three euros for a shot,' she continued. Berghain's black-clad dress code and tough door policy reflect its roots in Berlin's queer underground. Credit: Instagram The influencer's main shock was the kinky interactions that she witnessed taking place between attendees as the night continued. 'There were people having a threesome on these stairs, fully naked, in broad daylight . . . I saw a lot of that, girls, guys, two, three, four, all over the club,' she said. She also explained some of the infrastructure that is built inside the club where sexual acts were also taking place 'There was these boxes, big boxes, like you could fit three four people standing up in them, there was an alleyway of six of them lined up, there was a different group of people in each one of these boxes and there were different acts happening in every box, full bright light you could literally look in . . .it was insane.' Jacki revealed her outfit to her followers before she tried to get into Berghain. Credit: TikTok / @Jetsetting_jacki She also shared the minimal and bizarre options of food on offer to buy once you're inside the club. 'Also this is so random but inside they sell bananas and ice cream as food. So there's people who go in there and stay for two, three days and literally eat banana and ice cream while they're there,' she said. The video quickly went viral, amassing more than 400,000 views on TikTok and was flooded with comments; some sharing that they had witnessed similar scenes, while others judged the influencer for exposing what she saw. 'I'll never forget what I witnessed in the bathrooms,' one person said. 'Berghain is a queer kink club . . .it's hard to get into because of people like you who go in and treat it like a zoo and shame people for doing kink in a kink dedicated space. Not cool,' another added.
