Goodrem opened up about her “embarrassing stories” after being asked if she was ever starstruck in a new interview.
“You’ve heard of Coldplay? For some reason, Chris Martin unhinges me, with my ability to speak,” she said on the ABC series The Assembly.
She recalled having dinner with the late singer and actress Olivia Newton-John, known as a close friend of Goodrem’s, while in Los Angeles.
Noticing Martin entering the restaurant, she described her reaction at the time.
“I was like, ‘Oh no. Please don’t notice that we’re here’,” she said.
But the British star had noticed Goodrem was avoiding him, and approached her in the carpark.
“He goes, ‘Delta, why didn’t you say hi?’ and in my head, I was thinking, ‘Because I embarrass myself every single time!’
“I’ve said really weird things to him. Every time.”
She also touched on being the target of public scrutiny while she was a coach on The Voice Australia between 2011 and 2020.
“When I’d been under attack on The Voice, there was quite a target on me and it didn’t feel justified,” she said.
“That was a rough moment, but I look at it like, ‘I’ll never give up, I’ll wait until the storm passes’. I’ve just learned to cut it out.”
“I don’t google anything, I just stay true to myself.”
Goodrem and her fiancé Matt Copley will soon tie the knot, after announcing their engagement last year.
The couple, who have been dating since 2017, became engaged last year on a trip to Malta, with Goodrem saying in a heartfelt post at the time: “My best friend asked me to marry him.”
Goodrem previously let slip she had been trying on wedding dresses, adding the couple had just celebrated a romantic Valentine’s Day together.
“It’s definitely on our minds (the wedding) — we’re looking forward to that moment,” she told Sunrise in February 2024.
