Katurah Topps was named the superfan's favorite player and rewarded with over $100,000. Topps, an attorney from New York, started out on the Belo tribe and made it to the season finale before ultimately being eliminated.
Kaleb Gebrewold, a software salesman on the Lulu tribe, and Jacob "Jake" O’Kane, an attorney on Belo, were each rewarded $15,000 by the "Unstoppable" singer.
The Grammy-nominated artist has given funds to her favorite Survivor players since 2016, accumulating over $1 million in contestant giveaways.

Garrett, a self-proclaimed Sia stan in the top 0.1% of her listeners on Spotify, in May shared a video on Instagram of his call with the pop star, in which she reveals she's giving him $15,000

The 26-year-old entrepreneur from Miami outwitted, outplayed and outlasted her competitors in Fiji for 26 days winning the $1 million prize and the title of Sole Survivor.
