On Monday night, the 36-year-old singer-songwriter shared a series of snapshots from her rehearsal for 2021's Australia Day celebrations.

Taken on the stage on the iconic Sydney Opera House steps, the photos show Delta singing alongside her boyfriend and fellow musician, Matthew Copley. 

"And we‘re back!! (Or did we ever leave this beautiful @sydneyoperahouse over Christmas ha!) Rehearsals for tomorrow night’s @australiaday26 concert on @abctv at 7:30pm. Can’t wait to celebrate with you in your homes xxx #AusDaySyd #AustraliaDay2021," she captioned her post.

Delta shared a series of snaps featuring herself rehearsing for the Australia Day celebrations.

Instagram

Many of Delta's fans celebrated her return to social media as her last post was made back on Christmas Eve.

"Ayyy welcome back D!! We have all missed you!! Cannot wait to watch you perform!!" exclaimed one.

"OMG YESSS WE LOVEEEE!!! So happy to see you on stage!!! And with Matt too," another wrote.

However, not everyone was impressed to learn that Delta was supporting Australia Day - a polarising public holiday that has been dubbed 'Invasion Day' and 'Survival Day' by First Nations people.

"#changethedate," one person posted.

"Disappointing to see you supporting a day that persecutes our Indigenous population by its mere existence," remarked another.

"Tomorrow ought to be a National day of mourning, not a celebration. Sad you can’t see the significance for First Nations people and would support a day of celebration when it commemorates the genocide of thousands of Indigenous people and the destruction of an ancient culture and people. #changethedate," a third penned.

Delta also faced backlash for celebrating Australia Day last year when she shared a clip of herself and a group of friends sailing on Sydney Harbour.

Though many wished her a happy Australia Day and other well wishes, the Born To Try singer was criticised for celebrating on January 26th.

"Have a think about what you're celebrating," one fan wrote.

"#notadatetocelebrate," remarked another.

In 2020, Delta also came under fire for celebrating Australia Day.

Instagram

January 26th 2021 has seen many celebrities share messages of love and support towards Indigenous Australians.

Jesinta Franklin, Liam Hemsworth and Miranda Tapsell are just some of the local celebrities who took to social media this year.
