“Every artist in Australia HAD to choose f**king Tones and me,” another viewer added, interrupted by a crying face emoji.

‘I’ve always found singing Tones & I’s very annoying. Absolutely hated Dance Monkey when it was played everywhere,” writes a third.

“Imagine buying a WWC finals ticket just for Tones and I to perform.”

“Show and I… TV muted,” added another.

The shade cast at the Aussie singer was palpable, with another viewer bluntly saying, “Tones and I is just awful.”

In a heartwarming message of support, one viewer wrote, “How wonderful is Tones and I, certainly setting the tone for women’s football, for all the efforts.”
