Shirtless Cody Simpson performs vocal exercises with girlfriend Emma McKeon before performing the national anthem live
Cody Simpson has revealed how he prepares to sing in front of a live audience.
The singer-turned-swimmer, 25, took to Instagram on Wednesday with a video of himself performing vocal exercises in a locker room, before singing Australia’s national anthem on stage during an AFLW match.
Cody went shirtless in the video, flexing his abs and rippling biceps, while champion swimmer girlfriend Emma McKeon watched lovingly.

Cody then showed fans some of the food he snacked on before his big performance, including bananas, potato chips and dip.
The Commonwealth Games gold medalist captioned the footage with some thoughtful words: “There are parallels between warming up to sing and swimming a race.”
“Here are some boring behind-the-scenes footage before I sing the national anthem this week,” he cheekily added.

It didn’t take long for many of Cody’s 4.8 million subscribers to post words of support.
One fan said Cody was “an expert at lip trills” while another said he loved his crooning skills.
Cody and Emma started dating several months ago after Cody, a successful singer-songwriter, postponed his music career to focus on competitive swimming.

The pair are said to have hit it off several months ago as sparring partners under firearms coach Michael Bohl.
Earlier this year, they found themselves in the middle of a “love triangle” at the Australian Championships in Adelaide.
There have been reports claiming that Kyle Chalmers deliberately ousted Simpson from eligibility for the World 100m Butterfly Championship by choosing to compete in the event.
However, Chalmers, who dated McKeon for several months in 2021, later disputed this, saying he had always planned to attend this event.
