WOW. It finally happened.

For two seasons, Sienna’s dream podcast guest has been global superstar Rita Ora - and in this episode, Rita doesn’t just join the podcast… she surprises Sienna in the studio!

After seeing Ben get a Rita Ora tattoo for his daughter go viral on social media, Rita reached out and said she had to do the podcast - leading to an emotional and unforgettable face to face moment.

Sienna and Ben chat with Rita about:

  • The epic surprise moment when Sienna is surprised by her idol and dream guest

  • How Rita saw the tattoo online, got in touch, why it made her emotional and whether Ben has made things awkward with her husband Taika Waititi

  • Growing up feeling different - and learning to back yourself

  • Early pop star dreams, broken promises, and pushing through setbacks

  • What Rita has learnt about dealing with fame, nerves, and confidence

  • Juggling music, fashion, TV talent shows, acting roles - and knowing what to say yes to

  • How she manages a hectic global schedule without burning out

Plus, plenty of Kiwi chat, including:

  • What Rita loves about being in New Zealand

  • Her favourite Kiwi food and favourite place in the country

  • Her favourite New Zealand entertainers (that aren’t her husband)

  • Whether she has a favourite Taika Waititi movie

And, of course… What she’d tell her younger self at Sienna’s age

It’s a really special, emotional episode about big dreams and how a tattoo ended up changing everything!
