Troye Sivan has won so many awards at the ARIAs – for the second year in a row – he has run out of things to say and people to thank.

“What the hell, I literally don’t have anything to say,” he said, on receiving the album of the year gong on Wednesday night.

The singer-songwriter also won best solo artist for Something To Give Each Other, as he enjoyed back-to-back ARIAs glory after taking home four awards in 2023.

He also took out best pop release earlier in the evening, when he gave a shout-out to his mum in the audience.

“My mum sent me this video of me singing Barbie Girl by Aqua when I was, like, three,” Sivan said.

“It made me aware of the fact that since I was a little kid I knew I was gay and I also knew that I loved pop music.”

Missy Higgins was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame, with standing ovations, and tributes from Paul Kelly, Amy Shark, Tim Minchin and Ben Lee.

The singer-songwriter also won the public-voted best live act for The Second Act Tour 2024.

She was teary thanking her band for getting her through every show on her epic national tour, which has sold out 40 concerts so far.

“We played these songs together every night, and it’s the best bloody therapy you can possibly get,” she said.

“You’ve just been through a divorce and turned 40 and having an existential crisis, I highly recommend going out on the road with a bunch of amazing human beings.”

Song of the year went to G Flip for The Worst Person Alive, and she thanked her family for putting up with her drums practice growing up.

“The music was really bad at the start and then it slowly got better so thank you for putting up with that,” she said.

They are among the many winners at the music industry’s night of nights, the ARIAs, which is under way at Hordern Pavilion in Sydney.

Earlier in the night, first nations rap supergroup 3% won best hip hop and rap release for the album KILL THE DEAD.

“This is the year the most blackfellas ever have been nominated, and we are taking them all home,” said 3% member Nooky, after the band’s performance with Jessica Mauboy.

Bluey album Dance Mode! won best children’s album, the hit program’s second win after taking out the award in 2021.

Taylor Swift won most popular international artist with her latest release The Tortured Poets Department, her fourth win, and thanked her Australian fans in a recorded message.

“You guys have been really generous with me,” she said.

“You know, we’ve had some amazing memories together, especially recently, like coming to play for you guys on The Eras Tour in Australia was unbelievable.”

“You guys are so wild, so passionate, so much fun.”

Breakthrough artist went to Canberra punk outfit Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers.

“This is epic- we started the band when we were 15 after watching School of Rock at a sleepover,” they laughed.

Royel Otis took out Best Group for PRATTS & PAIN, which also won best engineered and best produced release for Chris Collins.

Best hard rock/heavy metal album went to SPEED for Only One Mode, which features breakout flute solos.

Best dance/electronic release went to Dom Dolla for Saving Up, best jazz album to Mildlife for their release Chorus and best classical album to Sophie Hutchings for A World Outside.
