Tea Bilanovic: Guests Chased Us to Get Their Tips Back
The singer told Hajp about a party after which guests chased her for the tips. The biggest tip she got with her band was 48,000 euros, and her partner is a surgeon.
Singer Tea Bilanovic told “Hajp” how guests chased her to give back the tips after one party. Telegraf and Kurir carried her remarks on October 5, 2026, and the introductions of both pieces mention an accusation of stealing 17,000 euros.
According to Telegraf and Kurir, Tea has a packed performance schedule and was quickly dubbed the “queen of tips.” Her statement started from that nickname.
What did Tea Bilanovic say about the party and the tips?
The singer opened the conversation by commenting on the nickname, then described the night after which she and her band, as she puts it, came under pressure from guests:
“I like that epithet, and I am grateful to my audience for it. I sang at a party after which they chased us to give back the tips. When I realized the situation was alarming, I took my bag and hid in another room. Then a young man’s mother was screaming that I had gotten her son drunk and taken all his money, which was certainly not the case. I can’t force anyone to give me money. The biggest tip I got with my band was 48,000 euros”
So the mother’s accusation is relayed by the singer herself, and she rejects it. The amount in her statement is not tied to the accusation. Telegraf gives it as 17,000 euros in its headline and introduction, and Kurir gives it in its introduction, while 48,000 euros, according to Tea, is the biggest tip she has ever received with her band. These are two separate figures.
Neither of the two pieces says when and where the party was held, or who the guests were.
What does Tea spend her money on?
Asked about money, the singer kept her answer short:
“I invest money in my career, and when it comes to me personally, I spend it on high heels. Right now I have 43 or 44 pairs. Half of them are in the trunk of my car.”
How did she meet her surgeon partner?
Tea recently had an appendectomy, and she met her current partner at the Emergency Center. He is, as she says, a surgeon, and he does not want to appear in public. Her recent words on the subject were:
“We met when I went in for my appendix operation. He is a surgeon. He doesn’t want to expose himself. He has a right to his privacy. We appear together, it’s not like he runs away. He handles my profession well, as long as he doesn’t meddle in it. He doesn’t read about me, he has too many books of his own, he didn’t know who I was”
The singer did not reveal her partner’s name, and it is not mentioned in the pieces published by Telegraf and Kurir.
