Sydney Olympics icon Nikki Webster has put her hand up for a role at the Brisbane 2032 Games, 26 years after her star-making appearance at the opening ceremony changed her life.

Webster made the declaration after surprising music industry heavyweights with an unexpected performance of Strawberry Kisses at BIGSOUND’s Sony & Friends Showcase Party in Fortitude Valley on Tuesday.

The now 39-year-old became one of the defining faces of the Sydney 2000 Olympics when, aged just 13, she performed during the Opening Ceremony before a global television audience.

With Brisbane now preparing for its own Olympic moment, Webster said she would jump at the chance to be involved again.

“To be involved in any way with the Brisbane Olympics would be amazing,” Webster said.

“It completely changed my life for the better, the Sydney 2000 Olympics, and I’m such an Aussie, so to be a part of it here would be amazing.

“Even if I just get a ticket, I’m fine with that.”

Webster said she would also love to see her daughter Skylah, 12, involved in Brisbane 2032 after watching her follow in her footsteps as a performer.

“She would absolutely love to be involved in any small way,” she said.

“You’re never going to get that feeling again. It happens once in a lifetime.”

The Olympic throwback came as Webster delivered another dose of nostalgia at BIGSOUND, taking to the stage unannounced at the Sony showcase and sending the room into a singalong with Strawberry Kisses.

The performance comes as both Webster’s signature hit and BIGSOUND celebrate 25 years.

“It’s huge, isn’t it?” Webster said.

“I get to celebrate 25 years of the best song in my career and the best moments in my life and BIGSOUND are celebrating the best moments of theirs.”

Webster said seeing a room packed with music industry figures singing along was “electrifying”.

“The audience were crazy. So much energy, so much vibe,” she said.

“It was lovely to see a room full of people singing Strawberry Kisses.”

And those who missed Tuesday’s surprise will get another chance.

Webster will take to the BIGSOUND Mall Stage in Fortitude Valley at 3pm on Wednesday, promising more songs, plenty of nostalgia and, naturally, another Strawberry Kisses singalong.

“I’m ready for a bit of a dance, bit of a party,” she said.

“I’m just having the best time and living life.”
