Christina Aguilera has revealed what happened behind the scenes during the filming of her new opera-inspired Menulog ad.
The expensive advert, which was released Down Under in October, features the pop star and US rapper Latto performing a duet inspired by Menulog’s jingle Did Somebody Say.
During the clip, Christina, 42, and Latto, 24, are seen in dramatic opera-themed costumes as they waltz through the interior of a palace as a gaggle of servants attend to their every wish.
Speak with Today Host Sarah Abo this weekend, Christina admitted it was physically challenging to perform in her costume.
‘My dress weighed a million pounds. I had to have four people help me carry it around,” the Fighter hitmaker revealed during a backstage interview at her Melbourne show on Saturday night.

The six-time Grammy winner had only positive things to say about her co-star Latto, who performed a rap about Menulog while Christina sang operatic notes behind her.
‘Latto was great. She had a great energy to work with. So much fun, we laughed the whole time,” she mused.
Christina has gone to great lengths to promote her Australian sponsor Menulog, after wearing a custom-made handbag inspired by the delivery app ahead of her flight to Australia last week.
