Miss Michaelides won a radio competition for her and a friend to attend the Australian music night of nights.
She won return flights to the Sydney event, one night of accommodation and tickets to both the ARIAS red carpet and award ceremony – all for herself and her friend Amy.
“We met so many celebrities and they were all so nice and willing to get photos and up for a quick chat,” she said.
Miss Michaelides met a number of household names including Taylor Henderson, Tim Omaji, Samantha Jade, Conrad Sewell, Jess Mauboy, Guy Sebastian, Sam Frost and her partner Sasha, Rove McManus, DJ Havana Brown, Fitzy and Whippa and 2015 X Factor finalists.
She was also lucky enough to meet international singer and songwriter Ed Sheeran.
Miss Michaelides said the awards ceremony was different from what she expected.
“It was a bit weird because it was being recorded but wasn't on television until a few hours later - and the speeches were so much longer than you got to see on TV,” she said.
She said she was thrilled she was able to attend the event.
“Overall, it was such an amazing experience,” she said.
“I don't think it would of been quite the same if i had chosen to go, winning the trip made it a little bit special.”
