Wild conspiracy theory emerges about Delta Goodrem following her lavish wedding to Matthew Copley
A Reddit user posted to the platform this week to ask, 'What caused Delta Goodrem to lose popularity so fast?'
Social media users flooded the comments section with possible reasons why the Born To Try hitmaker suddenly dipped in the estimation of Australian audiences.
'Aged past her intended audience and never updated her style,' one person guessed.
Another person similarly wrote: 'She was manufactured by the pop machine and now past her use-by date.'

'She was just so predictable,' one more wrote.
'They spammed her everywhere as well,' someone else said, which invited a response from another Reddit user.
'Big time. There was a point where Channel Nine had her on everything. Now they have Sophie Monk for that,' they wrote.
Another person thoughtfully added: 'Is it possible she was only ever artificially famous? Some people rise to fame because they are blisteringly talented, or controversial, or happen to be in the right place at the right time.'
They added: 'Some people become famous because they are talented enough, good-looking enough, and compliant enough for a PR machine to build fame around them... Once that machine moves on to younger, prettier, more exploitable talent, that fame evaporates.
'I always assumed Delta was in the camp - half a decade or so of fame, another decade of being a B-list celebrity on TV, then a lifetime of playing at local RSL clubs.'
Despite the criticism, some of Delta's fans were quick to defend her.
'I think she's beautiful and has a wonderful voice,' commented one admirer.
'There are thousands of other artists out there who would love to be a big "failure" like Delta,' another wrote.
Delta is on a career high and, earlier this year, spent time in the UK performing a series of exclusive shows to mark 20 years since her iconic Mistaken Identity album.
The pop star even thrilled her fans with a live performance at a London train station in May.
The Australian songstress sat down behind the Sir Elton John piano at St Pancras International Station, to the immense delight of the gathered crowd.
Delta's last Aussie gig was at the Sydney Opera House in April as part of her Mistaken Identity 20th anniversary celebration.
The veteran singer shocked fans when she invited Cody Simpson to the stage.
Delta and Cody looked at ease as they performed an emotional duet of her song, Almost Here, which she originally sang with her former boyfriend Brian McFadden.
Cody later took to social media to reflect on the career milestone.
'Thank you to the legendary Delta Goodrem for the honour tonight,' he began.
'It was a pleasure to sing at the Sydney Opera House for the first time, and to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Delta's album Mistaken Identity.'
The special performance was held to celebrate the immense success of Delta's second album, which reached number one in Australia and also charted in the UK and New Zealand.
Delta recently married the love of her life, Matthew Copley, in Malta.
The couple exchanged vows in June in the historic St Paul's Cathedral in Mdina, which was built in the 12th century.
The reception then took place at Naxxar's Palazzo Parisio, an estate with exquisite gardens that was constructed in the 18th century.
The blushing bride stunned in an off-the-shoulder wedding gown with a racy sweetheart neckline, designed by South Australian fashion designer Paul Vasileff.

Radio host forced to leave studio live on air after receiving tragic news
A popular radio host has been forced to leave her morning radio show on Wednesday after receiving 'tragic news'. Jade Robran, who hosts FIVEAA's Winter Breakfast show with Tom Rehn, was presenting her program before abruptly leaving the studio just before 7am. Tom then addressed her shock departure, informing listeners there had been a death in her family. 'Jade unfortunately has had to go home, there has been some unexpected and very tragic news, there's been a death in her family so we wish Jade all the very best,' he said. 'Hope you're okay, Jade, if you're driving home listening right now. Jade, we love you. We hope you're okay with the rest of the family. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Hopefully she'll be back tomorrow. That's very, very sad news.' Tom continued presenting the show on his own until 9am. It comes after a Melbourne radio star surprised fans by announcing his shock departure. Jack Post, 37, who has made a name for himself on The Christian O'Connell Show on Gold FM, quit the program on in May in an emotional Instagram post. Jack shared a slew of snaps from his time on the show, including one of him playing a guitar in the studio with Christian O'Connell and another with his wife Bianca and son Gordon. Telling fans that it was one of the 'hardest decisions' he had ever had to make, the radio host revealed the reason why he was calling his time on the popular breakfast program. 'I love this show deeply, and it has given me so much. But there is something in my gut telling me it's time to close this chapter and write the next one,' he wrote in the caption. 'When I left radio with Hamish & Andy in 2017, I honestly didn't know what was next for me then — but I had an excitement and giddiness for the thrill of what it could be. He added: 'I'm so happy it turned out to be The Christian O'Connell Show. 'It's time to step away again, make space, and see what's next,' he shared. Jack said that he was grateful for the listeners who tuned in for the morning show over the years. 'Thank you to each and every listener who chooses this as their breakfast show. 'I love talking to you in the mornings, I love meeting you on the street — don't stop saying hello,' he wrote. The radio star then went on to thank his colleagues at the station, particularly Christian, who he said had been on of the 'most profound relationships of my life'.

I'm not raising an iPad kid & I'm still called selfish for letting him run in restaurants & stand on tables making noise
A MUM has been slammed after sharing how difficult it is not raising an iPad kid. Irene took to social media to show the reality of taking a toddler out to a restaurant but it seemed many lacked sympathy for the mum. The term ' iPad kids' means young children who seemingly can't function or behave without being put in front of a screen. Many child experts have also discussed the dangers of relying on screens to keep kids entertained. It has also been linked to higher anxiety, depression symptoms, lower quality of life and lower psychological well-being in children, which could in turn, make them poorly behaved. But Irene was trying her best to make sure her son didn't turn into one. Unlike many parents, the mum refused to give her toddler an iPad while she and her partner were dining out to keep him entertained. She said: "Fighting for our lives trying not to raise an iPad kid. "Absolutely feral." In the short video, she shared what her son got up to while in the restaurant. He could be seen running around on top of their table until their food came. Once it did, she put him in the high chair where he began to grab items to chuck on the floor. Watch the moment mum returns to her toddler son after leaving him for a minute and find he's EATEN her dad's ASHES Despite the mum trying to keep her son away from technology, she was still slammed online. The video shared to her TikTok page @ irene_arr went viral with over 2 million views. Many said she was selfish for letting her kid run around on the table instead of giving him other ways to keep entertained. One person wrote: "The kids standing on the table and you aren't doing nothing about it I'm going to judge sorry, public place that's someone else's tables." Another commented: "It's fine not to have an iPad kid but don't let your kid walk all over the table. Can you teach him to sit down normally?" Tips for Dealing with Toddlers IF you're struggling to control your toddler, here's ten tips that you need to know... Stay Calm and Patient Take deep breaths and maintain a calm demeanor. Patience is key; toddlers are still learning to navigate their emotions and behaviors. Set Clear Boundaries Establish consistent rules and explain them in simple terms. Be firm but gentle in enforcing boundaries. Offer Choices Give your toddler options to foster independence. For example, let them choose between two outfits or snacks. Use Positive Reinforcement Praise good behavior and offer small rewards. Acknowledge their efforts and achievements to encourage repetition of positive actions. Create a Routine Structure and predictability help toddlers feel secure. Maintain regular meal times, nap times, and bedtime routines. Stay Engaged Spend quality time interacting with your toddler. Read, play, and explore activities together to strengthen your bond. Be a Role Model Demonstrate the behavior you expect from your toddler. Use polite language, share, and show empathy in your interactions. Encourage Communication Help your toddler express their feelings with words. Teach them simple phrases to communicate needs and emotions. Redirect Attention When faced with undesirable behavior, distract and redirect their focus. Introduce a new activity or toy to shift attention away from the issue. Ensure Safety Child-proof your home to prevent accidents. Supervise your toddler closely to keep them safe while exploring. "If you can't parent your child, don't take him out in public. It's rude to the server, the staff and everyone at the establishment. It's not their job to clean up after your toddler walking on the tables is unacceptable," penned a third. Meanwhile a fourth said: "The real problem is when you can't control your kids when they aren't iPad kids it's okay to have an iPad don't gotta have it all the time but super annoying your kids screaming in restaurant and you can't control them." "People judge when kids are loud and playing but will judge when they have a screen you can't win either way,' claimed a fifth
