Former Ellen star told to ‘forget the bikinis' for Aus trip
The 18-year-old singer took to social media on Tuesday, where she revealed in a video the five essential items she would be bringing on her travels.
Among the list, which included a portable makeup bag, of a water bottle, backpack and new bank card, were 10 bikinis she planned on bringing.
'I'm going to be using them a lot, I've got 10 different ones, loads of you said you spent the whole time in bikinis, so I'm taking a lot. I'm going surfing, by a beach, kayaking, and all of them are tie up so they don't fall down,' she said.

'Swap the bikinis for Ugg boots! It's damn freezing and wet as over here currently,' one Instagram fan said.
Another said: 'Girl, forget the Bikinis, we are in winter.'
'Make sure you also have some warm winter clothes as we are in the middle of winter at the moment and it's very cold,' a third added.

'It's winter in Australia hun you won't be using the bikinis is most of the country,' someone else said.
McClelland rose to fame on YouTube as her older cousin Sophia Grace's sidekick who went viral for singing Super Bass by Nicki Minaj.
The adorable duo, who were five and eight-years-old at the time, were sought after by Ellen DeGeneres for her talk show where they were regular guests for several years.
McClelland has since amassed a huge following of her own and has been releasing teen songs since 2018.

Ed Sheeran's disturbing truth about life in the spotlight

The global superstar, who recently announced his 2026 Australian tour, revealed on Sunday that he's been forced to employ extensive security measures to protect his children from extreme fans. Sheeran shares daughter Lyra, four, and Jupiter, three, with Cherry Seaborn. 'It's things that people don't really even take into account,' Sheeran told 60 Minutes.

'I'm fine with taking pictures, but I just think it's weird with a four-year-old and a three-year-old.'

Tom Cruise's rumoured new girlfriend Ana de Armas takes aim at his ex Nicole Kidman by liking post mocking Aussie film star's appearance
Tom Cruise's rumoured new girlfriend has taken aim at his ex-wife Nicole Kidman by liking a post mocking the Australian film star. Cuban-American actress Ana de Armas, 37, and 63-year-old Cruise are thought to be in a relationship after they were recently spotted together numerous times at different romantic locations across the globe. De Armas took to Instagram to heart Celeb Mess' post of Kidman, which showed her face up close with the caption: "When you keep it real". The photo was reposted on Reddit, where fans of Kidman, 58, took to the comments to lash out at the War Dogs actress for shading their idol. "Lol let's see what she looks like at almost 60," one person said of her. Another person said it fascinates them when "people in their 20s and 30s are rude about people aging." "Like, where do you think you're headed? And do you know what the alternative to aging is?" they said. A third person hit out at de Armas for dating a "senior Tom Cruise", adding, "but sure Ana, you're the winner here lmao." "Having a one-sided internet beef with your boyfriend's wife from 20 years ago, this openly is just absurd lol," another person said. One more Nicole fan championed the Aussie's decades-long acting career, which has endured throughout her youth and more recently. "Looks fade, talent doesn't. Nicole's had a 40-year career. Let's see where Ana's is in 10," the Reddit user said. "Nicole Kidman has more talent, beauty, and grace than she ever will have." The furore comes after de Armas and Cruise touched down in London together on Friday after being spotted enjoying a leisurely escape aboard a yacht docked off the Spanish island of Menorca in June. Both stars cut a casual figure as they disembarked a helicopter, with Cruise wearing a T-shirt and jeans while his rumoured beau donned leggings and a sweatshirt with her dogs Elvis and Sasha in tow. The two appear to have been getting cosy, spending the days leading up to Valentine's Day and the actress's birthday in April together. Cruise and de Armas ignited romance rumours in February, when they were spotted strolling together in London. The actress subsequently said it occurred as the two were engaged in business talks with filmmakers Christopher McQuarrie and Doug Liman. And they are set to star in Liman's upcoming film Deeper, which sees Cruise star as a disgraced astronaut on a perilous deep-sea mission. Nevertheless, they are yet to confirm anything more than a friendship. In June, Ana said she was "really happy and proud" to have Cruise championing her film, Ballerina, after he paid her a compliment. The Chruch of Scientology believer said the John Wick spin-off "kicked ass." 'There's an actress that has dramatic chops, someone who's comedic, very, very talented," he said in May, adding: "Just a great actress."
