Titus Day trial: Guy Sebastian ‘honoured' to support Taylor Swift
Guy Sebastian has revealed how excited he was to support global pop star Taylor Swift on her 2013 tour while taking the stand in the trial of his former manager, who is accused of embezzling $640,000 from Mr Sebastian. Titus Emanuel Day is standing trial for allegedly embezzling $640,000 of Mr Sebastian's royalties and performance fees. This includes the alleged failure to remit $187,000 to Mr Sebastian for performances fees as a support act for Swift on her 2013 Red tour of Australia. It's alleged that Mr Sebastian was also not paid for corporate gigs, performances at the Sydney Opera House, a Big Bash game and Dreamworld and for singing at weddings in Italy and Sydney. Mr Day has pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of embezzlement as a clerk or servant and one count of attempting to dishonestly obtain financial advantage by deception. He has denied doing anything fraudulent or dishonest. Mr Sebastian told the NSW District Court on Wednesday that he was 'very excited' when Mr Day told him he'd be opening for Swift on her Red tour of Australia in December 2013. 'I was alerted to the fact that I was to be supporting Taylor Swift, which obviously is a big deal – Taylor's a huge artist, and it was a massive get to get that tour,' Mr Sebastian told the court. 'I was really honoured.' Supporting Swift was unlike tours of his own, he said, which at times 'weren't fruitful', as he had to cover all the costs. 'This was an opportunity where it was a guaranteed sum I was being paid,' he explained. Mr Sebastian told the court that he 'wanted to do a really good job' and had even flown in a friend of his to perform alongside him. 'I really made that band as slamming as I possibly could and wanted to do a really good job of this,' he said. Mr Sebastian was going to be paid about $500,000 for the tour but had to pay costs of about $180,000 that included the price of pulling the 'slamming' band together. The court was previously told about $494,000 was paid into an account of Mr Day's 6 Degrees management company by a booking agent following the Swift tour. The Crown alleges Mr Day was entitled to a $59,000 commission, leaving Mr Sebastian the remaining $435,000. However, Mr Day allegedly failed to remit $187,000, with Mr Sebastian only paid about $247,5000. Mr Sebastian told the court on Wednesday that money was supposed to be remitted within a week or two of any performance. 'Within seven or 14 days, but it was clearly indicated to us when the $247,000 was transferred that there was going to be a reconciliation on weeks of the whole tour … we were told that the full reconciliation would be done really soon,' Mr Sebastian told the court. He claimed there were several attempts from his bookkeepers to try to understand the reconciliation for the performances in order to complete a tax return; however, this allegedly was 'never received'. In the years following, Mr Sebastian said he 'assumed it was taken care of'. Mr Day's barrister, Thomas Woods, last week told the court that there would be 'no dispute' that on some occasions his client should have transferred money onto Mr Sebastian 'but did not'. 'For many of the charges, the real question is not going to be whether my client failed to transfer the money to Mr Sebastian but whether his failure to do that was criminal,' Mr Woods said. Mr Sebastian signed with Mr Day at his management company 6 Degrees three years after he won Australian Idol, having previously worked with him at Mr Day's former agency, 22 Management. Despite initially being happy with the arrangement, Mr Sebastian and his team were often chasing statements and clarification on payments before he told Mr Day he was leaving his management in 2017, the court was previously told. Mr Sebastian launched Federal Court proceedings against Mr Day the following year. He in turn filed a counterclaim.

Mary Fowler reveals family plans with Nathan Cleary as she declares her only dream is to ‘be a mum'
Matildas forward Mary Fowler has revealed she and Nathan Cleary plan on having several children, adopting and living on a farm when their respective sporting careers draw to an end. The 22-year-old is currently signed to English giant Manchester City, where in two short years she has established herself as one of the stars of the team. But after picking up an ACL injury in April, Fowler has been sidelined, giving her an abundance of time to think long and hard about what her future after football may hold. In that time she has come to the conclusion she wants kids and lots of them, and says she is excited by the prospect of eventually moving back to Australia to start a family with the Panthers superstar. The couple first went public with their relationship in January, 2024. 'I really want to have a big family,' Fowler told the Keegan and Company podcast. 'The only dream I have at the moment is to be a mum and have heaps of kids and be in a space where they can play outside a lot. 'We can do the gardening and feed the animals together and be able to run wild in the place; be in the mud.' Mary, who hails from Cairns and is one of five siblings herself – Caoimhin, Seamus, Ciara and Louise – said she is after a similarly large family herself. 'I would love to have two or three kids of my own and then adopt,' she revealed. You can watch Mary Fowler open up about her family plans in the player at the top of the page. 'I don't know how many I would adopt, it's a long process. 'But in an ideal world, I would like to adopt siblings. I would bring all of them into the home. 'The dream would definitely have a lot of outdoor space because I would love to have lots of animals. ' I'm not as bothered about what the house would look like, I just want to have space for a garden set-up to grow my own crops. I really want to have a whole range of animals. It's very random and I'm trying to convince Nath that it would be a good idea. 'I really want to get a cow, some little goats, maybe a pig, some geese and I also really want to get a Great Dane.' However, that dream still appears a while away, with Fowler still having many years of professional football ahead of her if she so desires. And while the 22-year-old admits long distance has been hard on her and Cleary, she ruled out making a move to the A-League to be by his side. 'Long distance sucks – I don't recommend it,' she continued. 'From the get-go with Nathan, it was like 'I'm not going to be playing football in Australia any time soon, if ever'. 'We would really like to be with each other now but it's also kind of nice that we both still focus on our careers, get the most out of them, and then look forward to the time when we are going to be able to be with each other. It helps that we're both busy. 'The hardest part about long distance is when something bad happens and you're not able to be there with the person. 'We both really hate that. The amount of times just having a hug would solve your (problems), but we can't do that. 'We just enjoy having deep conversations. It has just worked for us, having phone calls and quality time on the phone. We have gotten really good at communicating. 'I think we see a lot of positives about being in a long-distance relationship before you transition into being together.' A move to the UK is not out of the question for Cleary, however, with speculation mounting in recent weeks that Cleary may be set to move to the UK at the end of his current Panthers deal to be close to Fowler. Veteran commentator Andrew Voss hinted the 27-year-old may end up being the face of a new franchise if the 'NRL Europe' concept comes into fruition in the near future. 'Nathan has won four premierships, Origin, he's a Test player, World Cup; he has achieved all the things you want to do in a career and I'm saying love might win out here,' Voss said on SEN on Tuesday. 'It's obvious they're in love and how long can that relationship be on the other side of the world when there is a solution?' 'If NRL Europe comes into being and I think it will be announced later in the year with grandiose plans Teams in London and France, they will pick how they want the comp to look. 'I don't know where the money comes from but I think a London marquee signing of Cleary at some stage makes sense. Nathan Cleary ticks a massive box, that gives them the headline they want, they become an A-list couple, I'm talking massive picture here.'
