In the glamorous chaos of the 2023 ARIA Awards red carpet, I found myself stationed in the media pit at Hordern Pavilion, eagerly awaiting the arrival of none other than Troye Sivan. Little did I know, this would be a tale of missed opportunities, Prada accessories, and the deafening cheers of fans.
Picture this: Sivan, rocking a bold yellow silky muscle tee with black Prada pants, strutting down the carpet like a true star. My heart? Racing. Why? Because, believe it or not, this was my very first red carpet.
As our team brainstormed questions, the vibe was like, ‘Okay, we’re about to chat with Troye Sivan!’ Anticipation? Through the roof. It wasn’t just any red carpet for me; it was like a debut album, and I was ready to ask the questions that mattered.
Reality, however, struck like a sudden key change in a heart-wrenching ballad. The star, embodying grace and charisma, veered off the red carpet. He headed straight toward the adoring fans seated on the opposite side of the carpet. Fans snapped selfies, Sivan signed autographs, and before I could even fathom shouting “Timothée Chalamet SNL impression”, he vanished down the carpet, bypassing our hopeful cluster of media outlets.
Troye Was So Close… Yet So Far Away
An eternal optimist, my hope lingered as I anticipated a return trip from the artist. Pressing questions itched to be asked, and not just about Timothée Chalamet’s recent impersonation of Sivan on “Saturday Night Live”! Alas, it wasn’t meant to be.
As the red carpet unfolded, and the stars strutted their stuff, Troye Sivan remained an elusive muse, lost in the dazzling array of Australian music royalty. With six ARIA Award nominations and two recent Grammy nods, Sivan maintained an air of grace, even as breezed past us.

In the end, left in the shadows of a yellow-muscle-tee-induced daze, I couldn’t help but appreciate the unpredictable dance of the red carpet — a dance where stars shine, fans scream, and sometimes, media outlets are left singing a tune of missed opportunities. As the 2023 ARIA Awards are underway, I found myself wondering: what could have been Troye Sivan’s best Timothée Chalamet impersonation? I guess we’ll never know!
