Miller-Heidke represented Australia at the quirky Eurovision Song Contest in Tel Aviv, in 2019 with her tune Zero Gravity.
She has also released five studio albums including her latest pop hit Child in Reverse.
Before she took the stage, Miller-Heidke said on Instagram that she was thrilled to get the NRL with Moss and the incredible Indigenous artist William Barton.
She joked that performing at the NRL Grand Final Spectacular between the Penrith Panthers and the South Sydney Rabbitohs might finally ‘get some respect from my father’s side of the family!’
Footy-mad fans on social media piled into the comments section to heap praise on the local singer-songwriter as the first ever Queensland Grand Final went ahead.
