Jack Harlow's currently in Australia to play Splendour In The Grass, as well as sideshows in Perth, Sydney and Melbourne. As it happens, his trip has turned him into an Australian Rules (footy) fan, and we're pretty confident in saying that no one could have predicted this would happen. 2022 keeps delivering weird and wonderful moments.
During his Perth show, Jack rocked a Fremantle Dockers floppy hat, which went down a treat with the home crowd. He also stirred up the West Coast Eagles fans in the crowd, saying "I don't know much, but I know which team's better right now" (for context, Fremantle are sitting 4th on the AFL ladder, while the Eagles are 17th). Cop that.

His love of footy has gone one step further, and he's fallen in love with the goal umpires' outfits from the '90s . He posted on his IG story, "Can't sleep watching AFL highlights" and added "that umpire's fit is fucking insane" with a screenshot. What a world.
Ya’ll don’t understand I have tears of happiness right now the fact that he’s here and so is @urbanwyatt and he’s watching the AFL just my heart @jackharlow pic.twitter.com/CNctgylUVB

Jack's just released his massive new album, Come Home The Kids Miss You, featuring hits like First Class, Churchill Downs and Dua Lipa. We recently spoke to Jack about the album, and he told us that he wrote a song about Dua Lipa because she's "iconic".

We'd love to know who Jack's tipping to win the premiership this year. Fremantle are looking set to play finals, so it's not a bad time to become a fan. They're still chasing their first flag, too, so maybe Jack's support can give them an edge?
