The singer told the 1000-strong crowd that she wanted to tell them something she had only told her friends.

She then introduced her partner and stage technician, Jimmy Bedford, telling the crowd he proposed last week.

Tones and I said the pair had not announced the enjoyment on social media and she had been swapping her engagement ring to different fingers for previous shows.

"I want you guys to be the first to know," she said to the exuberant crowd.

Tones and I also vowed to return to Albury during her October tour later this year.

"This is easiest the biggest crowd I've had on this tour," said Tones and I.

Crews were also filming the show for Netflix.

The singer kicked off her show with a basketball competition for children before singing Flyaway, a cover of Outkast's Hey Ya, Never Seen the Rain, Cloudy Day, Johnny Run Away and a slowed-down piano rendition of her hit Dance Monkey.
