Olivia Rodrigo has been wholeheartedly embracing all things Australian while on her Guts tour, and her fans are loving every moment of it.
The US pop sensation, 21, who has already made headlines for her love of Aussie snacks and local tourist spots, was spotted indulging in yet another iconic treat.
After sampling some Tim Tams earlier in the week, Olivia continued her culinary adventure Down Under, sharing a snap on social media of a stash of Caramello Koala chocolates.
Taking to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, she also shared a photo of her dining at Bondi’s widely-popular Italian restaurant Totti’s.
In one snap, Olivia flashed a smile for the camera as she sipped on a glass of wine and enjoyed a delicious dessert at the iconic eatery.
During her night out in Sydney, she looked effortlessly chic in a long-sleeved cream top, while she showed off her stunning features with a minimal make-up palette.
She also shared a photograph of the world-famous Sydney Harbour Bridge as she explored all the sights the city has to offer during her epic trip Down Under.
The singer’s laidback vibe has resonated with her Aussie fans, who have embraced her not just for her music, but for her willingness to dive into the local culture.

She even brought her love of Aussie culture on stage in Melbourne, where she wore a crop top emblazoned with the words, ‘Vegemite be in love,’ in a playful nod to the nation’s most divisive spread.
On her opening night in Melbourne, she also sported a tank top with the phrase ‘Bad Idea, I reckon?’ – a playful twist on her hit track Bad Idea, Right? and a fun reference to Australia’s laidback lingo.
She kept the theme going on night two, stepping out in a crop top emblazoned with the word ‘Crikey!’ – a shout-out to the quintessential Aussie catchphrase.
However, all was not smooth-sailing at her Melbourne shows as she fell through a hole in the stage in a shocking gaffe at the Rod Laver Arena on Monday night.
At her fourth and final show in the city, she suddenly disappeared through a floor hatch, which had seemingly been accidentally left open from an earlier entrance.
Thankfully, Olivia managed to catch her hands on the edge of the stage and clamber back up on stage, sharing her shock at the unexpected fall with the crowds.
Sounding shaken, she assured her fans she was unharmed as she said: ‘Oh my God! That was fun, I’m OK! Sometimes there is just a hole in the stage, OK… where was I?’

It isn’t the first time Olivia has given a nod to Aussie culture as she has already tried out Tim Tams in an amusing TikTok video earlier this week
She quickly recovered from the dramatic fall and carried on with her performance as she proved herself to be every inch the professional.
Olivia is now gearing up for her long-awaited Sydney shows at the Qudos Bank Arena on October 17, 18, 21, and 22 – her final stops on her Australian leg of her Guts tour.
Olivia has been making the most of her time Down Under and filmed herself tucking into an original Tim Tam for the first time earlier this week.
In a TikTok video, she sat cross-legged in her hotel suite while being surrounded by six packets of various flavours as she fully embraced the tradition.
‘Spectacular, give me 14 of them,’ the audio on the clip narrated.
She also sent fans wild when she visited well-known Melbourne star Pesto the penguin at Sea Life Aquarium during her time in the city.
The King Penguin has become famous for his impressive size of 23kg and eating 25 fish a day, with videos of him racking up millions of views.
Taking to Instagram on Friday, the pop star shared photographs and videos of her visit with the now-viral marine bird as Pesto nabbed yet another celebrity fan.

Dressed in snow gear and goggles, Olivia looked delighted as she met the famed penguin in a sweet moment.
She also shared a video of herself smiling and flashing the peace sign as nine-month-old Pesto – who is an impressive 90cm long – stood beside her.
Her visit to see Pesto came weeks after Katy Perry helped to boost the penguin’s viral fame when she visited him ahead of her headlining gig at last month’s AFL Grand Final.
Animal lovers around the world have been left stunned by the astonishing size of Pesto, a penguin chick who weighs a whopping 23kg.
His fully grown parents Tango and Hudson weigh 11kg and 12kg respectively, while the average size of an adult king penguin is 14-17kg.
When Pesto was born in January, he already weighed 200g and has grown rapidly since, thanks in part to his enormous appetite.
He eats four times a day, and one meal consists of eight fish and his size has made him an internet star worldwide, with videos of the large chick seen by billions.
