Sia Gives Away Her 4 ARIA Awards to Lucky Twitter Followers; Ed Sheeran Asks For 1
Sia was a big winner at the Australian Recording Industry Association, or ARIA, Music Awards on Wednesday, but apart from not personally receiving her awards, she apparently has no use for them as well. The Australian top-charter gave away her ARIA trophies to Twitter fans, and Ed Sheeran also wanted one.
The 38-year-old “Chandelier” songstress won Album of the Year, Best Female Artist Album and Best Pop Album for “1000 Forms of Fear,” as well as Best Video for “Chandelier.” Unfortunately, she wasn’t in her home country to accept the award, and was called out on social media for not even filming an acceptance speech for her gongs.
She took to Twitter to clarify the matter, saying that she taped four “thank you” speeches for each of the award, but ARIA had other plans than to show them. She is also “saddened” for being criticised for not showing up.
“On the upside, I won!” Sia continued, before adding, “Who wants one? First four to document doing a good deed, I’ll send you an aria. GO!!!”

She didn’t appear to be joking, and soon after, her fans start submitting their “good deed.” She then picked her winners, asking them for their address.

Sheeran, who was nominated for Best International Artist at the ARIA but lost to One Direction, also wanted an ARIA. He tweeted Sia, saying he could be her own good deed.
“@Sia I’m overweight, send me one plz, that can your good deed,” (sic) the English singer-songwriter joked, adding a photo of himself. Sia ran out of ARIA to give, so she just invited Sheeran for a session of colonics.
