The enthusiastic statements come after Rita left Australia amid her romantic involvement with Thor director Taika Waititi. 

Before leaving the country last week, the songstress was seen in pictures obtained exclusively by MailOnline putting on a cosy display with Waititi and actress Tessa Thompson following a party last month. 

The trio appeared to be in great spirits as they wrapped their arms around each other and beamed over al fresco drinks.

According to a report in The Daily Telegraph on Friday, the British star’s record label were less than impressed with the display. 

‘They didn’t like the behaviour, is what I heard,’ an alleged a source who ‘who worked closely’ with Rita told the paper.  

However, Warner Music told the publication on Friday that they could not wait to have her back in town. 

A representative said: ‘Rita is an incredible and hard-working artist, and we loved having her in Australia. We look forward to having her back here soon.’

Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Warner Music for comment.   

Ahead of jetting to America Rita had been working on the Australian version of The Voice for several months.

She also spent lots of time with her new boyfriend, Thor director Taika, 45, with it being understood she ‘moved into’ his home during the extended trip.

Rita and Taika went public late in April when they arrived together at the premiere of RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under at the Sydney Opera House.

They avoided being photographed on the red carpet, but took their seats side by side in the front row once inside the venue.

It is believed that Taika split from his wife, Chelsea Winstanley, in 2018 following seven years of marriage. They share two daughters, Te Hinekāhu, eight, and Matewa Kiritapu, five.
