And the Australian singer, 42, cut a sombre figure as she flew out of Sydney Airport on Sunday morning following an undoubtedly emotional week.
The Absolutely Everybody hitmaker was spotted arriving at the domestic terminal with a female pal, following a gig on Saturday at the Grapevine Gathering festival in the Hunter Valley, New South Wales.
The now-Californian based pop star flew under the radar in an all-black ensemble consisting of a puffer jacket, T-shirt, trackpants and Converse sneakers.
She completed her look with a simple pendant chain necklace and carried a beige Louis Vuitton handbag and black luggage.

She appeared to go makeup free and wore her raven longs down in natural waves.
Before checking in for her flight, Vanessa and her pal were seen strolling around and sharing a serious-looking conversation.
At times, the songstress was seen flipping through her mobile phone, perhaps checking on the latest media coverage of her bitter court showdown against her mother, Ms Robinson.

Amorosi filed her lawsuit in the Supreme Court of Victoria in 2021, claiming ‘unconscionable conduct’.
The court heard the singer believed her mother had exploited her wealth during the height of her popularity when she was just a youth.
‘She’s being very generous with my money,’ Amorosi said.

Amorosi told the court she had been brainwashed into believing her mother was the only person to be trusted to handle the millions of dollars she earned after becoming a star.
‘Boyfriends were enemies, husband was the enemy. She was to be the only one there with the right intentions, and I believed it,’ she said.
The court dispute centres around two properties: the Narre Warren North home Ms Robinson claims was gifted to her by the singer at the height of her fame in 2001; and Ms Amorosi’s home in the US, which is owned by a family company that owes $650,000 to the Westpac bank.

‘I thought I owned it but her name was still on the title because … I trusted her 100 percent so I wasn’t too worried about getting her name off the title,’ Ms Robinson told the court on Tuesday.
‘We had an agreement and I stuck by the agreement.’
Ms Robinson had been a cleaner when Amorosi hit the big time off the back of the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

It is a job she has maintained to this very day, taking home about $1000 a week for her efforts.
She has no other assets contained within the disputed Narre Warren North property.
The civil trial has heard Amorosi made just short of $1million in 2001 after exploding onto screens during the 2000 Olympics.
But by the end of 2014, she was booted out of her United States property after seemingly running out of cash.
Last week, Amorosi denied she had ever gifted the property to her mother, who she said had always referred to it as ‘her dream home’.
Ms Robinson claims Amorosi promised to buy her the property for $650,000 – money that she would repay to her daughter at any time she demanded it.
Amorosi has been unable to shield her despair throughout the trial, both in the witness box and sitting within the courtroom.
The trial before Justice Steven Moore concludes next week.
