Nadia Bartel has revealed how having a world-famous pop star has helped her switch departments at her popular tanning company Spray Aus.
The company, owned by AFL WAG’s Rebecca Judd and Bartel, was used by Katy Perry ahead of her highly anticipated headlining performance in the AFL Grand Final last Saturday.
“Oh, that was so exciting for us,” the 39-year-old said during an appearance on The Morning Show on Monday.
“For example, if you have a start-up company and we’ve been at it for so long, since 2015 when that opportunity came along, it was just huge for us.”
Nadia said one of her staffers personally applied the color to Perry so she glowed for her big performance.
“She was such a superstar. One of my good friends got her tan and went to the hotel, and she was so down to earth and she looked great. It was so exciting for us,” Nadia gushed.
Fans quickly discovered that Perry was using the sunscreen brand – and that translated into sales of Nadia.
“We’ve had so much interest and we’re really trying to launch the brand overseas,” she said.

“So I think this will really help us in the future. But it was just nice that she was so great too. So beautiful. ‘
The American pop sensation, 39, dazzled the 100,000-strong crowd at the MCG as she delivered an electrifying pre-game performance before the Brisbane Lions vs Sydney Swans clash.
Katy’s 20-minute set not only turned heads with her vocals and energetic hits, but also had a very unlikely link with Australian household names Rebecca, 41, and Nadia, 39.
Katy took to the stage with a glowing complexion that was achieved with the help of none other than Rebecca and Nadia’s tanning company, Spray Aus.

Emily McKay, who founded Spray Aus with the help of the WAGs, revealed on Instagram that she personally visited Katy at her hotel to apply the spray tan using their mobile tanning service.
She shared, “You guys, Katy Perry. Tanned by me in @sprayaus using our OG solution. What a special moment.’
Founded in 2014 by Emily and Ellie Pearson, Spray Aus has grown into a major player in the beauty industry.
Shortly after launch, Chris Judd’s wife Rebecca and Jimmy Bartel’s wife Nadia joined the business, allowing it to expand to four standalone salons in Melbourne.

The brand now offers a wide range of products including mists, mousses and professional tanning solutions, all available through their website.
Katy shocked with an astonishing song choice and some very ‘bizarre’ CGI effects during her AFL Grand Final performance at the MCG.
She stunned fans almost immediately when she kicked off her set – for which she was reportedly paid $5 million – with her hit Roar, despite it being widely assumed she wouldn’t perform the song.
There had been feverish speculation that the song had been blacklisted because it showed a perceived bias against the Lions, with Perry herself even admitting that she had been warned not to sing it.

However, despite the rampant theories, Perry threw caution to the wind by performing the song that some fans consider the unofficial anthem of the underdogs.
She then added to the surprise with her setlist by not singing Hot n Cold, despite it being known as the MasterChef Australia theme song and jokingly regarded by many as the true Aussie ‘anthem’.
She performed her hits Teenage Dreams, Dark Horse, Firework and California Gurls and sang I Kissed A Girl with Tina Arena, but notably missed Hot n Cold, even though it was widely expected to perform.
Following reports that she had been restricted to just one new song by AFL bosses, she also released two songs from her 2024 album 143 – Lifetimes and Beautiful, her collaboration with Kim Petras.
