Lorde BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Over the past several days Lorde has been making headlines and captivating fans worldwide with the Ultrasound World Tour, a sweeping global trek supporting her June 2025 release Virgin. The new album marks her boldest work yet blending raw confessions with explicit themes—she has called it “written in blood”—exploring everything from sexuality to pregnancy tests to existential crises, all set against a return to her early pop roots. With Virgin, and its accompanying music videos, critics note she is at her most unguarded and provocative, and the fans have responded in turn—the tour has sold out major venues across North America and beyond according to the Massachusetts Daily Collegian.
Just this past week, Lorde electrified crowds at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles and the Greek Theatre in Berkeley with performances described as raw and vulnerable. At the LA show, The Independent details, she brought out Charli XCX for a surprise live duet of Girl So Confusing, turning a track about female relationships and anxieties into a cultural event, a moment of genuine solidarity between contemporary pop’s most introspective voices. At these concerts, the setlists weave new tracks like Hammer, Clearblue, and Current Affairs in with fan favorites including Royals, Buzzcut Season, Ribs, and Green Light. Attendees have described the energy as louder than even Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, as reported by The Independent, with Lorde shedding layers—literally—onstage in performances that lean into the intimacy and challenging gender identity examined on Virgin.
Her Oct. 4 and 5 shows in DC and her October 22 Seattle concert both saw social media buzzing with footage of her stripped-down balladry and club-ready anthems. The Stanford Daily and The Hoya recounted her costuming—at one point wearing a duct-tape binder during Man of the Year to explore masculinity—her chrome body paint for Current Affairs, and her willingness to remove clothing in a gesture of communal vulnerability. Lorde has also been engaging audiences in singalongs to Ribs and momentous closers, with The Stanford Daily noting her walk among fans during David as a literal and figurative burst of light.
Business-wise, the tour is a smash; every show is a sell-out, cementing Lorde’s place as a global arena act more than a decade into her career. No credible reports have surfaced of new endorsements or public controversies. On social media, fans posted clips from the Berkeley and Seattle shows, and the energy in those comment sections matches what reviewers describe—utter devotion and cathartic joy. For a superstar known for musical reinvention and emotional candor, these days may be remembered as her most daring—and biographically significant—era yet.
