  "account": "Sienna Spiro, the 21-year-old British singer and songwriter, has canceled her appearance at the 2026 ARIA Awards due to the physical demands of her ongoing tour. In a post on ARIA's Instagram Stories, she expressed her regret for missing the 40th annual awards ceremony, stating that she \"can't listen to my body and give it the rest it needs.\" The North American leg of her My House World Tour, supporting her debut album Visitor, recently concluded. Spiro was set to make her second visit to Australia, following an intimate fan event in Sydney last year. She was the first international performer announced for the ARIA Awards, which will take place on November 18 at Sydney's Hordern Pavilion. Blusher, a Melbourne-based hyperpop trio signed to Atlantic Records, will take her place in the lineup, marking \"an unforgettable night honoring four decades of Australian music.\" Tame Impala and Genesis Owusu lead the nominees for the 40th annual ARIA Awards, with Ecca Vandal, the 2026 Australian Music Prize winner, close behind with seven nominations.",
